Yeah to make it profitable I had have to win 33x the blind when I actually hit two pair, a straight, trips, to make this profitable. Thanks.

And this is assuming you get away from the hand for whatever it costed you to limp with it. You could also lose chips getting outkicked, having middle pair, and chasing draws. Granted, you will win a few pots, but they won't compensate for the ones you lose.
Hope I didn't sound condescending in my first post. I used to do this sort of thing too until I realized it was costing me crazy chips. Early on, SNGs are about conserving chips. And often, in the lower buy-ins, you'll get doubled up early by just playing a good hand strongly. This is a lot easier and safer than playing a weak hand and hoping for an incredible flop.
