I think your new approach sounds more sensible, I've played a lot of SNG's over the past couple of months and find that even though i know someone will probably call my all in on a great hand i prefer to put out a 6-8xBB bet to get rid of all the crap hands and see the flop from there, if someone reraises all in then i'll probably call with AA KK QQ AK because at the low limits i play people tend to go all in with rubbish.

Last night it was the final hand of a SNG, i had AA, the other guy had 22 and rivered a 2, most annoying. If i'd taken that hand he'd have had about 100 chips. Not that that's really relevant.

Post how the new approach does for you.
