Re: How to handle big hands UTG, 1st hand of SnG
With AK you want zero to one callers. If you make a 4 or 5 x BB bet at the first level you will often get three or more callers. At least you do in the 30$ games I play.
I make a pretty big bet here about 20% of my stack.
Never limp UTG with AK as this hand plays very poorly multiway but much better heads up.
I'm also raising big with JJ as you want to knock out Ace small, KQ,KJ, QT suited and the like. Some folk recommend limping with JJ hoping to hit a set, I prefer to raise.
