The only decision that you have to make is to fold after the BBs all in or push like you did. With no reraise preflop AA and AK are not likely. There could 55, 99, A5, or A9. I think BB could have anything including just a draw.. the cut off might be beating you. The decision depends on my reads of the players, but at the $11 SNGs i know I am doing what you did most of the time. After CO calls you then I am a little worried.

There's 570 in the pot preflop. My post flop bet would probably be 400+. The raise from cut off would definitely lead me to think 2 pair or trips, though I suppose a nut flush draw is possible.

With top pair second kicker I'm folding with this much action after my bet.

Button could play it this way with a weak Ace because they're pot committed. Cut off could be playing it this way with a nut flush draw to isolate. I've seen stranger things.

Reads would be very helpful in knowing where you stand. I'd be very reluctant to commit my stack with only TP2K.

I bet 300 here preflop cause you're laying set odds if you always broke here like you did.

You open for 5xBB?

Is that normal for you?

I definitely disagree. I hate building pots that big w/ AK so I'm definitely not doing it w/ AQ. Your PF raise is fine although some times I limp here. The rest of the hand looks fine (maybe bet slightly more on the flop). Expect to see aces that you outkick or flush draws very often.

Thanks... limping is definately an option.
I just hate to open limp
