Small and medium pairs / High aces early in the game Small and medium pairs / High aces early in the game

Hi

Currently I've hit a downswing and I can't really see where I make my mistakes. I started adding more and more tables when I started getting most of the whole push/fold strategy correct (I always review my games in SNGWizard and have about 95% correct actions 16-tabling).

I usually play extremely tight (6.50 turbos) early on and basically wait until the push or fold part starts. Except of course AK and JJ+ I raise, with KK+ I try to get it in before the flop no matter what. However I really have problems playing stuff from 55+ and AJs in and out of position. What do you do when first to act or after several limpers? What do you do if you get AKs in the first hand UTG and somebody reraises you etc. (and you call and hit the king and the other guy goes allin?)..Is it even worth C-betting and losing part of your stack on a bluff?

Maybe these are my leaks, maybe not and it's just an annoying downswing..

Readless id probably call (if it wasnt an obvious scary board), but then again I play the lowest levels so i can be often up against someone with Kx or something here.
