This is exactly what I mean. This is why I limp in....after the pre-flop raise by villian, I was trying to get it heads up by moving all-in ...guess who folds.....NO ONE!!!!

'Nuff said. At this level, at a full table, no one folds.

But dude, you won a huge pot and went from 1300 chips to 5500!!! You got them in early and your hand held up.

Yea, no fold em holdem at the 3 dollar SnG ...Everyone must have thought I was trying to buy the pot, cuz' I limped pre-flop then moved all in after I saw 1 raise.

No if k23 doesn't wake up with QQ and make a proper raise, then limper corky sees the flop with '76' and sucks everyone out. Don't you see that raising with KK is gonna make no difference in this case because k23 is repopping you and you will be allin regardless. Just because the other players are bad, doesn't mean you should sink to their level.

50/100 is not early anymore and yet you are still limping. You don't need to be tricky at a $3 sng. Straightforward aggressive play is still best. Fancy play at this level is over the head of everyone here.
