First 2 are good advice but the 3rd one is bad imo.Stay tight in the early rounds only play premium holdings
Abuse position as the blinds raise and you're approaching the bubble
Play for first not to cash
i don't completely agree with playing tight early. i would say play a lot of cheap flops with connected hands that can develop into mosters, and are easy to get away from post flop to aggressive bets. as you get to the bubble, abuse the blinds and take advantage of position.
If you are asked to help a newbie (me) on how to win a SnG tournament and can only give 3 tips. What would your 3 tips be ?

No it means your playing a good ICM game and that STTs have a fast structure witch means you have to go all-in prf alot to play as close to optimal as possible.OK, if you are almost dead and grasping for air to breathe with two broken arms in the middle of the ocean then go all in pre-flop. Usually means that the SnG didn't go your way and you are gonna lose anyway.
if you buy into 10 Full Tilt .30 STS&G and allow all of them to blind out you will make it to between 2nd and 5th. I know this because Ive done it. Yea, Yea, Ive had too much time on my hands for a while.
Point being, if your patient & tight and not lured but a KQsuited UTG early on, you will consistently cash.

Hi, I am not familiar with poker lingo...what do mean by "not lured but a KQsuited UTG early on"
Thanks
i do not have as nice stats as NickerThal32 but u can sharkscope me nonetheless. basically Tight is key, let them kill each other, this works for anything lower than $20 SNGs. U play to ITM not to be first. try for first AFTER ITM. its a grind, so u want consistency. and try to identify the regs and avoid them if possible, sharkscope most if not all on your table, and u know who are the winning players and who suck.
This is not legal some/(all?) of the bigger sites, if you have pokerstars and sharkscope open at the same time it can be detected and you can get caught.
