Going AI with AA, KK, QQ would not be a bad idea if you played at PP. You double up early at PP and you can safely say you are already ITM. Going AI with AA, KK, QQ, at stars... i wouldn't do it often unless i'm forced by an AI after my raise or reraise. Doubling up early at stars doesn't guarantee you anything by any stretch. Any other poker rooms, i couldn't comment.
JJ, TT are very strong hands, but you have to be very cautious as many players at low stake SnG play any A/rags and K/rags. I was adviced by many advanced players at FTR to either play them like any low pocket pairs (for a set) or play them hard as you would with AA, KK, or QQ. Postflop play, it really depends on how the board is looking, but i generally raise preflop and raise or reraise postflop. If my raise or reraise is looking at another raise, i fold. If i'm called, it gives me no choice but to check on the turn (unless you want to take down the pot on the turn w/another big bet). I'd play JJ, TT almost as aggressive as i'd play AA, KK, QQ, but i would avoid AI with them. You don't win a SnG with one hand, cut your losses when you know you are beat.
AA, KK, QQ, i play them straight up, you are suppouse to raise with them, raise raise raise, at least 3xBB. I had plenty more bad experience than good ones slowplaying them.
I tried to find some thread about playing big pockets but had no luck in my search. I think there was a discussion about playing big pockets, you can try to find it i guess. Good luck DavSimon.
