Blinds 100/200 in a typical 10 + 1 SNG at Party. 6 Handed.
You are UTG with KK with 700 chips left. Whats your play?
What would you do with AA in the same scenario? QQ?
Personally, Id push with KK and QQ, but be more inclined to limp with AA. With KK or QQ, you have to push so you wont have to make difficult decisions post flop when an overcard flops, but with AA, 94.35% youll get a favorable flop (as according to Paul Phillips), so you are going down with it anyway regardless, pre-flop and post flop, and might get a few agressive players to go down with you from the free play in the BB when they bet middle pair for value. Many players limp in anyway even with the blinds this high on 10+1, so it isnt as if you are giving away your hand as AA by limping.
