Default $10 Pokerstars SNG - overplaying AA again?

Am I trying to be too clever with AA early on as usual or am I right to be enticing people in on such an ugly flop? No reads but its a $10.

If anyone shows any interest ive got a follow up question

Thanks

You should bet a bit more pf, way more on the flop and shove the turn. Betting so weakly and checking the turn is just asking to drawn out on.

Raise to at least 5xBB PF, pot the flop, shove the turn.

PF is fine.
Flop: bet more - something around 240
Turn: if you bet 240 and were called on the flop.. sets you up for shoving on the turn. Get called by Q8o, make $$$

PF bet is fine, IMO. I might have bet 4x - 5x the BB in an effort to be heads up... but I can understand 3x if you need to vary you're play.

Flop, you should be shoving around a pot size raise. That way, if they call on a draw, they're the one making a mistake. The 120 bet is giving them correct pot odds for nearly any kind of draw... overcards or straight draw.

I'd push the turn.

major problems with the flop bet.....pot is 305 and you bet 120???? at the 10 dollar level, unless the players are not the "average" player, 45, 79, 68, maybe even A8 are definitely calling.....about %30 of the time they will call an all in, so exploit it...I'll bet the pot, sometimes overbet the pot, sometimes just under. Its not like i can read a set here and fold to a reraise, i'm not scared of anything, least of all losing a 10 dollar sng (with aces) that my bankroll is padded for. A push looks ridiculous, looks like AK missed, and you'll get called a surprising amount of the time. Just my two plus two cents....
