Playing AK early in a SNG can be tricky sometimes.

Anyone think I'm being too aggressive this early in the game trying to take down the pot on the flop?

Once that Jack hits, I know I am going to take this donk down. God, these 10+1 players are terrible. Slowplaying the 2 pair with a flush and a straight draw on the board....
