to avoid snoogins inevitable questions of position and blinds, lets say im middle position, 1 caller before and 1 after me, first hand of a SNG so we all have 1500 chips blinds are 10/20

You raised 100, that means 300 in the pot, I would bet 150 and see if I can take it down. If the guy behind you calls, then be careful, if the guy in front of you calls, then see the river before you bet.

yea i have to agree above. with a lil over 300 in the pot i'd bet half or 2/3 the pot just to see if i could steal it right there. if im called then i'll check the turn and the river unless i hit an Ace or King and even then i still might check cuz someone might be slowplaying a set.

first of all, i hate the 5x raise w AK in the first hand of a SnG. you are risking WAY too many chips in EP with a drawing hand, that is worthless when you miss the flop.. I prefer a limp here, looking to reraise if i get raised. if you dont get raised, and the flop comes rags, muck-o-rama, and you are down 20tc. in a SnG it is all about survival until the end.... for me. I think the proper thing to do in the above situation is to check/fold the flop. time to cut your losses.
