This very hand last night in a $5 SNG, UG I raised to 4 x BB, my thinking fairly similar to Steves is that I am hoping to get rid of the junk hands, and am aware that I will get called by good aces and other pairs, and hopefully not re raised! As it happened I had two callers and flopped a set on a low board, I checked the flop as did the 2 callers turn was a K and am now hoping it has hit someone so check again, bet and two callers happy days, river Ace, I bet the pot, one fold and the button calls and flips AK.
So big pot early on and sets me up for the tournament (finished 2nd) . I know the button played it horribly, well he did IMO, but when you hit your set....
