Low buy-in SNGs.
This happened last night. I was formatting a computer at the time and didn't want to get into a higher buy in tourny so I decided just to play the mini micros at Doyles.

BBC77A bet 480
So here I am thinking possible starting hands villian might play and what he most likely would call a 4.5xBB raise with that would warrant a bet on the flop. My thinking was AK, KK-1010 or possibly a blocking bet with a lesser pair. I also thought perhaps he was stupid enough to play A7s. My thinking was if it was A7 then so be it I would pay this donkey off.
abigfan called 480 and raised 2,070 and is All-in
BBC77A called 1,110 and is All-in
Showdown!

After this hand the conversation was pretty good
abigfan: Well Sir my hats off to you for some excellent play.
BBC77A: ty nh
abigfan: Big question. How the heck did you have nerves to call a raise like that with 67?
BBC77A: It was only a dime if I lose.

Focus on the part where you are a 4-1 favorite preflop and WANT the call. The rest, is just the rest.
Stakes aside, play early is downright silly in most SNG's.
