How to handle big hands UTG, 1st hand of SnG

[nuclear500]

Played in a 'stars SnG the other night, first hand was dealt AK suited. Was thinking to myself, this sucks first hand I don't want this.

Nonetheless, I played it 'correctly' and bet 5xBB. Too many people recently have been limping on the first hand and I did not want anymore then one person calling. Unfortunately (fortunately?) nobody called.

The second hand as BB, I was jealt Jacks and again was thinking this sucks.

I ended up folding them on the river (after raising pf, flop and turn) when the river brought a third club and a Queen.
