Default I play small stakes and just prefer to shove or fold early

I play small stakes and just prefer to shove or fold early. What are hands I can shove early in the game and be EV+?

AA, KK, QQ, JJ?

I fold AK early [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] In small stakes, if you even make a normal raise, everyone gets all excited, like piranhas, and they panic and start shoving.

If anyone can get over the mob mentality of bashing me, please answer my question.

You shouldn't be doing that. It's dumb, and you won't be able to use that strategy anywhere but the lowest lowest stakes and win. If you have any ambition of becoming a better player, making money, or moving up in stakes, stop being dumb. If you don't care about making money and want to play small stakes, you'll have more fun playing a lot of hands than push botting. so either way, dumb strategy.

Yeah your gonna have to learn how to play post flop.
Im assuming your the guy who first hand picks up AA shoves UTG and than shows. Gotta get value out of your big hands and that's not the way.

I know. I wanted to read those articles.

Anyway, Im going back to playing my normal game in SNGs. I've tried all strategies. For a while I just sat on my ass the first levels until I was down to about 10BB, then started looking for shove spots. Now I'm going to play my normal aggressive game, and if I get low, I can always start shoving again. Everyone seems to contradict each other, so I have no choice but to go back to my old style.
