Someone please tell me how to play these morons in low level SNGs. Last 2 I get all in preflop dominating and get sucked out on. And its ridiculous because I am playing so predictable and they still make the calls. First one was kind of early but I was all in with AK vs AQ and flop comes AQ something. Next tourney was not early at all and I was playing so obvious that this guy is a moron to call. It was down to 6 players, we had played a decent amount of hands, I had never raised preflop at all in the whole SNG and I barely played any hands. I am shortstack on SB and I pick up QQ, UTG bets 5x BB, guy after him calls, folds to me and I shove for 5X the original raise, only UTG calls and he shows AJ offsuit vs queens. He flops a jack and rivers an ace.
I am not really dissapointed about the loss of the buyin, but this is screwing up my run at the battle of the planets leader board. Cashed in 5 out of 7 SNGs yesterday and go out in my first 2 today because im playing morons.
So please tell me how to play these morons?

Do not go all in preflop. Just call there wild raises and outplay them after the flop. Once you see a flop you have more info and can make a much better decision.
Remember its a game. . if its not fun don't play. gl
You shoved allin with AK and get called by AQ and lost. What happened here? You pushed allin pre-flop and got called and beat. If you don't push allin here you are prolly still out. It was a setup hand.
QQ in SB and short-stacked, you are not gonna get away from this hand unless you fold it preflop to the raiser and caller. Of course I wouldn't here SS I push allin and pray. You smooth call here and he has top pair top kicker and no way does he get away from this if you push then. Both were setup hands with you on the bottom end of them.
Keep playing your game. You had a good day yesterday don't lose your confidence over this. GL on the felts.
not much you can doo i play many low sngs myself you just have to wait them out most times and get lucky with your better hand other times
Most of the time when u are playin with morons, they will take themselves out. Just take your time and be patient. Also, sometimes people get unlucky, keep your head up.
