Re: Betting strategy for this somewhat marginal holding
I know you wouldn't fold this preflop in a ring game, but that's exactly what you should do in the early stages of an sng in early-ish position. There sort of hands are nothing but trouble early on, as it looks like you found out here. If you really want to play with this hand, I would limp in and try to see the flop as cheaply as possible.
On the flop, I would bet about half the pot, so it still gives the wrong odds to flush draws. If you re-raises you all in at that point, depending on the buy-in and the opponnent, you can make your decision. I would probably let it go - weak tight is not a bad way to go for the first 3 rounds.
