Standard? Despite this being a low buyin tourney, I just can't think of a hand I'm beating here.

JJ, TT, KK, 88, etc.

I'm assuming you meant like 77 instead of 88.

Obviously, apart from KK, he's putting me on AK to play it like this. But aren't most players with these cards going to CR here on the flop and not let me draw to my "6 outs" for free? Not to mention that, don't most of these hands raise preflop?

I meant to add in my original post that I'm consistently against making "big laydowns" in SNGs (and MTTs, for that matter). I just couldn't imagine being ahead here.

I'm constantly, whether it be PP 11s/22s or Pokerstars 5.50's while donking around, trying to tread that fine line between (a) just calling/pushing with a good hand because, you know, they are donks, and could have anything, and (b) trying to actually read a hand and figure out what I'm beating, even if I'm reading the hand from the perspective of the average donk.

I dunno, just rambling. But I think what I tried to convey in the above paragraph is a fairly common problem for 2+2 11s/22s players.
