The only thing I would do differently is raise less on the flop. t400 on the flop.

1. Fold preflop for sure

2. I'd call the flop for sure. When you raise you have to call any reraise, so it's kind of annoying to risk all your chips here, even though you will have pretty good equity. I sort of like just calling, and not putting all your eggs in one basket. I mean after calling, you have only invested 10% of your chips. In a SNG I'd rather take the safer route like this, still keep a ton of equity and also give yourself some cheaper bluff opportunities on later streets.

The pot is still small and you have position. Also if they have 88, you may be able to take it away later.

In a cash game I'd often just raise and get it allin, just gambling is significantly worse early in SNGs.

If villain shoves then we are calling, therefore I think it's better just to shove first in this situation. This bet presents a problem if villain flat calls and we miss the turn. Shoving the flop looks a bit desperate but avoids the small risk of the flat call by a sicko with AK.

if villain has AK he is most certainly not folding it on this flop. that said, why would shoving be better (or raising be good at all?), when putting him on TPTK? or am i misunderstanding your post?
