Lately I have been playing alot of SnG's, I havent been winning very much because I have run into the AutoAce racers, which means they are all in with any Arag..and they will usually hit or river to win. Its almost like you need a solid PP to go up against these players. How does everyone else handle this?
Thanks

Just wait until you have your monster (TT+ or AK), call them then but fold otherwise.  You'll still lose 1 hand for every 4, but there's nothing you can do about those.  Another possible solution is to simply let someone else take them out - you won't lose much in blinds by the time they are eliminated, and having one person with 3k+ chips at an 8 handed table does not put you in any sort of panic mode - they have a SLIGHT advantage chip wise, but nothing too big.

I handle them by being one of them.. I shove and reshove lots of ace-rags late in STT's because 1, people are afraid to bubble, 2, they still call with worse ace-rags and hands even up to QT sometimes.

Blinds are so big normally that the amount of pots you win is generally more important than anything else, meaning aggression will be rewarded.

Yes, but there's a big difference between when you with Ax when the blinds get high and you're nearing the bubble, and when you push with all 9 players still in it at 10/20.  I don't think anyone with half a brain would argue against the former, but the latter can clearly cause some problems - should you go after them with any pocket pair?  Any two high cards?

Ooh you mean people shoving in the early stages?

Oh well that's easy, you have to play really tight in the early stages, and always in SnG's you have to avoid close gambles, so it's pretty obvious I think that you just should ignore them. Only call with hands with which you have them dominated more often than not, I'd say TT+, AQ+.
