AQ, TT Level 3, 4

Assuming a typical 650 stack at the 25-50, 50-100 levels, how do we play against an early position triple from a stack bigger than ours, assuming we're on the button?

I ask because I just got crippled in two SNGs by pushing AQ here and villain having AK both times. A prior leak of mine was pushing AJ and 77 type hands here which is definitely bad, but AQ and TT seem almost too good to fold.

I can't answer for how "we" play, but I see no problem pushing here. Assuming it was folded to you on the button.

Number of players left and stack sizes will make a difference. At the 50-100 with AQo and t650 it will take some pretty extraordinary circumstances for me to not push. I wouldn't really want to say much about the 25-50 without looking at the details.

At 25/50 I'm folding AQ to an EP raise. Depending on who's doing the raising, I may fold the TT too - some people are very tight on level 3. On level 4 I'm pushing both.
