I'm reviewing some of my hands from this afternoon's $1 SNG session. There are a few hands where I am worried that my bet size either scared people off easily, or that they are so big that they become a problem.
I'd love to know your take on the hands please. There are more examples, but these are a selection. There is a small theme running in other hands.
HAND 1
Pacific Poker - 20/40 Ante 5 NL - Holdem - 8 players

HAND 2
I felt like not messing around and wanted to get all the money in. But is this a leaky way to play AK?
