I'm thinking of learning how to play multi-table SnG and start going to the live poker tournaments in my area. The problem is though, they have payout structures that I haven't developed a strategy for. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the payout structure dictates the optimal strategy more than anything else, well except the type of opponents.
I have experience in 2 different formats:
STT SnG, 33% is paid. I basically play very tight/nitty since with the aid of a few late pushes, I can basically fold my way to the money
MTT, 10% is paid. I basically am fairly aggressive and go out of my way to get chips, will raise suited connectors and stuff like KJ early/mid position. Because of the nature of the turbo games, I turn into a maniac late game since there are good odds on every hand and it's amazing how nitty/tight/scared some people can be.
How should I play in games that have payout structures of let's say 20%? Is there any formulaic(incorrect usage of word?) approach to working out how tight/loose one should play before sitting at a table, based on the payout structure?
In case this question is a little difficult to answer, how should one play the 45 man SnG on pokerstars? Top 16% get paid
EDIT: And another format I'm curios about, the 10 person STT, top %30 are paid. How different should the strategy be from the 9 person STT?
