Laying down QQ, AA? NL 10/1 Sitngo

Hand 1: How do you NOT put at least one of them on AA, KK, or AK?

You really think that after it folds around to the CO that it's going to take one of these 3 hands to raise 3x the blind? At the 10+1 level? ... Are you even being serious? Your argument for the 2nd hand is at least plausible but if you fold QQ from the BB when the CO opened for 3x, you play WAY too weak-tight.

Hand 1: You are going to lose all your chips in this hand. However, the way you played it makes it near impossible to make any money with one of your best starting hands. Not many people are going to call your all-in with a hand you dominate, TT, AQ, etc. but they will call a smaller raise. Raise a more reasonable amount.

Hand 2: Tough luck. I lose all my chips and play it similarly also.

stack sizes all fairly equal at around 1500-2000 or so; blinds 20/40

Hand 1: I reraise to about 325 preflop. Still hard to make the fold when he pushes though.

Hand 2: I raise to 175 preflop to kill preflop implied odds. If he calls anyway then I go bust too.

First off, I misread that OP was in BB. That may warrant a call, but with a raise AND a call AND no read, I still wait for a better spot, and I might add, would have still been in this tourney. Early in tourney, I'll give up my 20 chip blind to test this read. BTW OP posted that CO RAISED 3x, so it's 3 bets to call into a 9.5 bet pot (CO 4, Button 4, SB .5, BB 1).
Your point is taken regarding the 10+1 level, lots of boneheads there and I certainly wouldn't be shocked to see that OP had best hand, but I'd play the same way on a $500+65 tourney as I would a $5+1.

1) It doesn't warrant a call, it warrants a raise.
2) You are all afraid cause of a CO first in raise and a button call in the first rounds of a SNG?
3) Good luck finding a better spot.

Thanks all for the great advice! Wasn't happy with how I played these hands - hence the post.
