WOW........ that is crazy -- I usually find that when you get past the 30+3's those kind of players are rarely ever found

Wow, wasnt expecting that buyin amount. So, from the data collected in my experience and from what TP has just intoned(sounded right but dont even know if its a word or if im using it correctly) to us I am ready to state my hypothesis:

STAY THE ______ AWAY FROM THE FIRST HAND IN A SnG (period)

No way. Look at how easy it is (in theory) to double up. Sure, sometimes this happens, but when it does, just fire up another one... or do like I did: laugh and go do something else.

Rigged! It's Rigged I tell you!

The thing is when I sit down at a SnG I plan on winning something and I find I have a better chance of winning without throwing my chips in like that. I play the grind poker in those and it usually works out. Granted I dont play limits like that sooo could be a different story.

I completely agree. But I am more than willing to get all my chips in with AA on the first hand, even if I think someone has a reasonable draw or maybe even if I tihnk there's a small chance I'm already nehind (post-flop, obviously). Then you either double up, giving you a huge advantage over the rest of the field, or you bust out and can fire up another one...
