Raise a lot harder preflop and get heads up.

Nah, he had AJ, he tried bluffing me outta the pot I guess. Im just looking for feedback on how I played it.

defo raise a bit more pre-flop.

Playing Aces early in a low buy in sng is very hard. I think you could have raised alittle more preflop but on the other hand you dont wanna scare everyone out. With poor posistion I say definitly raise more with 2 limpers, like 5 or 6 bets. I do like how you keep the pressure on by raising. I like your all in call, Im thinking your probBly beat, but 450 chips doesnt do you any good if you fold.

Standard pre-flop is 3xBB + 1BB per limper. So raise it to 100, otherwise it looks fine.

I'd raise it at least 100 here as others have said. I might consider raising it even a little more, up to the 120 range. The reason I say this is that while you have a monster now, you're likely going to be out of position the rest of the hand from the BB (barring the scenario that you eliminate every one but the SB)

I spent a lot of time at these low level SNGs at Absolute when I was building up. (and even recently while rebuilding) and I can say this: Never be afraid of raising your opponents out preflop. Someone will call in that pot. To compensate for your position, you can raise a little more and allow them to make a bigger mistake.

If they all fold? *shrug*
