9man SNG AKs UTG early...

If you're playing this professionally and multi tabling you just have to fold. I hate sngs for this very sort of reason.

?? how does a move become right because you are playing pro/multi tabling??

Because when you are 1 tabling and you has ACE AND KING suited it's alot harder imo than when  you grind for a living have 30 up and have been 3 bet opening utg in first level of a sng.

this is why i don't play SNGs

The reason folding here is the best play is more down to your $ equity.

If you shove and he has JJ, yes your racing but the fact you could be knocked out at the early stages for the sake of getting a small increase in your stack (in relation to the chips in play rather than your stack itself) doesn't warrant the race. Plus you could be crushed.

Alot of SNG players choose to limp UTG on AK and are prepared to call a small raise as this keeps in alot of hands we dominate and we could easily get our chips in far ahead on a flop we like.

don't get this, whether playing professionally or just as a mess around, one table or twenty, our objective is to make the most +ev decision out there.
What player is gonna 3bet AQ at 15/30 vs an utg opener, who is a cardrunners member??

If you're messing around though and not doing $ev calculations and aware of icm etc then AK is sooted and has an ace with a king thats like huge. When you are bokuing it up you just want to grind money and you've been in this spot and you've done the maths and now you limp call or raise fold as a standard.
