I see what you're trying to do...but are you afraid of the villian holding an A or K...and if so, do you still plan on SnGing on the flop?

Yeh, I would play it as a straight SNG. You don't have enough chips left if you fold and there is a good chance you are ahead anyway.

Is it just me or is almost everyone responding to OP not paying attention to the satellite dynamic?

If we're not shoving I'm folding preflop.

That's what I did. I folded preflop. I wonder if a SNG is better.

That's what I thought made this SNG brilliant. You would almost never want to SNG w/QQ in a regular tourney. But in this situation, reducing variance and probably losing some cEV is good because it increases $EV in the effect of a satelitte seat.

I personally like the SNG here.
