Default Re: Only calling with J,J at $15 or $25 SNGs?

Does the Harrington approach translate apply to an online turbo tournament? If you raise 5 or 6 times and get a caller or callers you are probably beaten if an A flops and there is a decent chance you are beaten if a K or Q flops (and there is still the chance you are up against a bigger pocket pair). If a K or Q flops and you make a legitimate bet on the flop it seems to me that you are risking a good deal of your stack against inferior players with only J,J. I think if you raise with J,J in the early going you tend to either win a small pot or lose a big pot. That being said, I can be persuaded otherwise.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
