Default a,a Problem hand

$22

4th hand of the sng. Ditech_com doubled up on hand 2 pushing all in with middle pair, so i figured he was probabrly doing the same thing.

My question is even if i knew that he was weak is it worth calling here?

Does anyone fold this?

Raise preflop.

So raise to how much? 150?

What other hands would you raise that much with?

Also would u call that push on the flop?

1) raise preflop
2) even if you know 100% that it's correct to call still fold because we're not trying to make correct decisions.
3) don't make bad beat posts, please.

I make it at least 90 and maybe up to 800.

As to the push on the flop, it really depends on my mood and anything I can pick up from the first three hands. I think I would tend to call and just start a new game if I lose.

With AA this early preflop, I would rather run the risk of getting no callers than the risk of not getting a big pot.

I did raise preflop.

This is not meant to be a bad beat post, it is a post on whether or not it is correct to call a huge all in like this even if i know am ahead.

I admit i should have taken the results off the bottom, but i would have posted this whether i won the hand or not.

I would vary my raises preflop depending on the number of limpers in the pot. No limpers here so I would be raising 45-75, I don't see anything 'wrong' with raising to 45 here.

I'm calling this on the flop and hoping to not see JQ.

I think you played this hand fine.

You call here very, very, very quickly. I can't wait to get my chips in with the best of it.

In an SNG, I think taking a 50/50 flip is wrong. There's no way you're 50/50 here though, you're at least 60/40, and that's enough.
