Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
You barely have had time to get comfortable at the table, so I wouldnt put myself into a coinflip situation this early with a drawing hand. Sure, it may be the best drawing hand, but still not worth getting busted this early IMHO.
Early in sngs, I just dont like to get into coinflip situations. I like to try to find a better spot with a little more clarity. And, you are playing a 22, so you should be one of the better players at the table. So, i would recommend caution, not agression here.

Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
You guys crack me up.
To the coin-flip-assumers: either one of these players could have anything, early in the 22s. One of them with a pair is *worst* case, and even that's not so bad. To the "I can outplay these suckers later" crowd: Just how many premium hands do you think you're getting in a shallow-stack, fast-structure SNG? And to top it off, you've got the raiser comfortably covered in chips. I auto-push this, and it's very, very easy.

Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
i see donks raising hands like A7-AJ like this more often than he is willing to overbet a monster (JJ+).
i think you're giving the guy too much respect.

[/ QUOTE ] this is the first level, so if you are getting antsy to get your money in already, I think yer crazy! and i would rather take AJo 5 handed, than AK in this situation. no need to take advantage of every single miniscule edge you get on every single hand... comfortably covered? we are talking level 1 here. ah, nevermind, difference of opinion, but i think you are taking way too many risks this early...
