AA cracked on hand #2
 

I'd love your thoughts/insults (they are deserved) on this play. I probably should have gone all-in on the flop. How bad is this?

There is at least a little insight to make on this bad beat post. In low level SnGs I raise to 100 level 1. I definitely push the flop... If he calls he is a moron and you will profit in the long run off of these people.

7x BB isn't too much? I do want the call...for the reasons you mentioned. My standard is 4xBB +1 for each caller.

Fold pre-flop so that you won't have to write a bad beat post.

Re: AA cracked on hand #2
 

I agree. The best way to play aces is to fold preflop. That way youll never get screwed with them and have to write bad beat posts about them...

Kidding aside, your play is fine. Miniraising or pushing flop are both good plays. I would do the latter, but thats my style.

Oooh, and BTW, the biggest mistake you made was to play a $5 game in the first place.

Re: AA cracked on hand #2
 

I agree. 75 was prefectly fine here.

anyway, bad beats are fun and are very +EV in the long run. Be happy and start up a new tournament.
