nah you can not be serious... you are WAY ahead preflop....
noreage has a point.....AA cost me a seat in the shooting star......played a satellite at paradisepoker...it gave 2 seats....we were down to 4...i was second in chips by a decent amount....chipleader goes all in on my BB....i had aces and called.....he had KQ suited....rivered a flush.......he is a ******* for going all in but i was pretty dumb to call there too.....i hate playing with people who don't know what the **** they are doing in these tournaments.....instead of working together to beat the other 2 he move in on my BB to steal the blinds???? wtf

It certainly was not dumb to call. If you win the hand and you should have, you would have positioned yourself to limp on home. Eventually you were going to be forced to play and if you can get all your chips in with by far the better hand you do it. Simple as that in my opinion.
I am fairly tight, but will raise with almost any two cards preflop in the right situation.
the hand i avoid as best i can is j-10. I had run pokertracker for a while and that hand cost me more than any other "good starting" hand. Its a hand that gets people in the most trouble unless you hit your straight. too many times you will hit top pair with second best kicker or it will cost you money on the draw.
i would much rather play 5-6. If i hit a 5 or 6 i will easily get away from it as opposed to when you hit the j or 10 as a top pair. and when you hit your straight or flop a set or boat it is very well disguised and generates nice profits especially when you lead out. good players will realize that you hit a j-10 straight and wont pay you off as well.
just my 2 cents.

Sorry guys but you need to work on your late tournament strategy if you refuse to lay rockets down. The situations come up occasionally, but you need to be prepared for them.
By all means remember in a tournament you are playing the structure and the field more than the hands. When you have chips and a bunch of players don't and they are trying to make the money or move up the ladder, you can play many hands as if you have AA. When the tables are turned you have to change strategies and work to maximize your equity in the prize pool. And that might require you to quietly muck premium hands.
