Re: i hate AKs
[ QUOTE ]
Fair enough. But how is a hand that is dominated only by 2 other hands (6 card combinations), marginal? It may be overplayed by many, but AK is by no means marginal. You are rarely behind if you hit the flop with it. [/ QUOTE ] He is saying the push/call decision is marginal, not the holding itself.

Re: i hate AKs
[ QUOTE ]
I am being coy this morning. Let me rephrase some things. A) I dont think pushing is the best option. B) Post flop play isnt very important at a $5 SnG in the early levels C) Post flop play isnt very important at a $5 SnG period D) Early play at a $5 SnG is hardly important either, so clicking autofold and fixing a snack while not paying attention to level 1-3 is still + EV at that level. [/ QUOTE ] If one's only goal is to be a winner at the 5's then you are probably correct about the importance of post-flop play. However OP is clearly trying to improve his game. By being "coy" I think you're doing a great disservice to the OP and new readers who don't know enough to distinguish good advice from bad. If he doesn't learn any post-flop play at the 5's, how is he ever going to learn it?

If you want to learn post flop play SNG's are probably the last place I'd try.

If you want to learn post flop play SNG's are probably the last place I'd try. [/ QUOTE ] You gotta remember that starting stacks are 15friggin00, which is pretty deep. And if this is like the SNGs I play at pokerroom.com, the blinds start out at 10-20. This gives you PLENTY of room to manuever before it becomes 2 card poker. Playing after the flop is crucial as this is where you get Ax to give his stack to you when you hold AK/AQ after the A flops. Plus, most $5 SNGers are such donks that you can get away from second best hands pretty easily or draw cheaply. I say give THEM as many opportunities as possible to make mistakes so YOU can capitalize.
