Default Simple question... i think.

fairly new player...quick question about these STT's they have on PP.

Scenario: Very first hand, you are in the BB with AQs.

Everyone folds to the Puck, who goes all-in.

SB folds, action to you....

What is your general rule of thumb when starting these tourneys?
Is there a specific hand ranking you have, because I find this happens an awful lot on PP.
Do I take a risk early for a good chance to double up, or should I wait for a better moment to get all my chips in.
I realize that with a hand like KK or even AKs there is no question, I push, but should I be drawing the line at a certain point?
Just curious about what others thoughts were on this.
Any comments are appreciated.

At a 10+1 there are an awful lot of people who push early with crap. That being said, I dont call this without a premium hand - AA KK AK maybe QQ if I feel like gamling. AQs is just not quite good enough for me here. Early on in the 11's I think you want to watch the donks knock each other out unless you really have a great hand, which AQs is not quite.
