Never ever ever slowplay aces before the flop first hand of a 22. Hell, you would probably get at least one caller if you just went all in right off the bat. On the flop, bet the pot. After you're raised, push. This hand was just played way too passively.

Here's what I would do. Raise pf for value. C/R the flop because you're likely still way ahead here. If I'm reraised I'm all in. If you're called and lead into the 3rd club/2nd J all in (don't always fear that it has helped your opponent), you still have outs to the flush -or- ace and tons of FE. Raising PF makes future decisions easier, no?

I realize this post has lots of hypotheticals, so I apologize. Don't read it. Meh, too late.

This is the first hand of a SnG. You can't possibly know that. Do you see why? I'll leave it to others to elaborate.

Oh, and raise PF.
