Hello everyone, I'm new to both the STT forum and SNGs. I've been lurking a while, and have learned a lot. I'm not doing very well however, and I that I'm making quite a few mistakes and being out played often.
Here's one of many hands that I'm pretty sure I screwed up on:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (8 handed)

CO (t875)
Button (t1295)
SB (t1460)
BB (t745)
UTG (t475)
UTG+1 (t880)
Hero (t760)
MP2 (t1510)
Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Final Pot: t982.50
This was very early in the tournamnet, so I didn't have any reads on him. I thought it was possible he had AA or KK, but more likely he had AK, AQ or perhaps an underpair. I called with the intention of going all in if there were no A or K on the flop. The flop looked safe so I pushed. What should I have done differently?
