Re: AKo gamble early in $10+1
When you have double everyone else early in a SnG, I think you are better off limping with everything to see the flop. The table becomes intimidated that you are bullying "quietly" and they tend to fold if you bet out, whether you hit anything or not. I used to hate seeing others play this way, but it does work. Of course, when you hit a goofy flop with your 83o and take down a huge pot, no one else knows what to do when you bet.
Alternatively, yesterday I doubled up just as some neighbors rang my bell. I clicked to sit out, forgot the game, and when I came back about 20 minutes later I found I had finished third. One pot and in the money. Must've really pissed off the guy who went out on the bubble.
