How would you play this hand from an early position early in a tounament?

It's the hand that has won me my biggest pot and I'd really like your opinions.

For me it's a raising hand from an early position. I would raise 3 or 4 times the BB and hope for one caller or to win the pot there. A reraise and I'd probably do an oscar winning performance and fold unless I feel there is enough reason to call. Obviously I'd be hoping that they have overcards and not a bigger pocket pair!!!

I play the players, not the cards.

There is no other way than to play the hand quite aggressively. Anyone calling or reraising an aggressive raise early in a tournament can hav nothing other than a monster. You'll soon know where you stand with an aggrssive raise!
