I used to play the $10+1 level at paradise and had good success. The strategy that I used in most SnG tournaments at this level was: Up to and including the 15/30 blind round just see the flop for cheap and play it strong if you flop a big hand, there's no shortage of loose calls. If there is already a raise and you have AA or KK narrow the field with an oversized raise. If your in the blind with JJ or QQ consider going all-in if you think its the best. If you only raise 50 as in the case you described your likely to get a bunch of callers and your UTG. In the middle rounds 30/60 50/100 play as tough as nails. When it hits 200 blind you have to open it up and steal antes or go all-in with any hand you play(with a stack up to 2000). When it gets to 500 or 1000 blind just play percentages. 67s is only a 3-2 against AKo. With loose action you can expect to get a bad streak of up to 20 games where you're struggling to make the money. It will all even out in the long run.
