[Sidekick]

Nottom's advice is good sound SnG strategy and I fully agree with it at the $10 level.

However, I will offer this. I don't mind a limp with KQo here. But you have to be willing to fold this hand to ANY type of raise preflop. It is just too weak and too easily dominated in the early going.

Given the $10 level it wouldn't surprise me if you ran into someone playing a suited connector and pushing all their chips in with an OESD. At the $10s, people can and WILL frequently call with nothing but draws for all their chips (happens at the $20s as well).

On a board like that even with top pair with the possible flush and straight draws you are just a coin flip against the draws and quite possibly dominated or even behind someone being 'tricky' with AA or KK here.

If you are going to play this hand, then limp. If no one raises behind you, then bet 1/2 the pot on this type of flop. You have given the draws incorrect odds, you haven't risked much of your stack and if someone comes over the top of you it isn't hard to let this hand go knowing you could easily be dominated or a coin flip against the draws.

Avoiding coin flips early in SnGs is very good for your ROI. You will almost never win a SnG in the first 3 rounds, but you can certainly lose one then.

Hope this helps.
