Default Re: From STT\'s to ring games

I have similar questions. I'm mostly a SNG player, but am looking to start a home game and start playing some live ring games for fun, so I'd like to develop those skills on line. In the SNG, as was said, when blinds are low, you're looking to preserve chips for later, so in EP and MP you're almost exclusively raising QQ-AA, AK, and maybe limping with 66+ and KQs, AQ. This is a little tight for a full ring game, no? If it's limped/folded to you in LP, what kinds of hands are limping with? If folded to you in CO/Button, what are you raising with? How does TPTK play in ring games? Say you limp in MP with AJ and hit a JT3 rainbow flop and get a 3/4 pot raise in front of you. Are you strongly suspecting JT two pair, or trips, more so than you can afford to worry about that in a SNG?
