I think I understand your point, so why not simply push-preflop? Isn't pushing pre-flop a better value play? Because the whole point of a SnG is to attempt to make the villain fold after seeing only 3 out of 5 cards to increase our chance of surviving, but the majority of the time he folds we have him crushed, so getting all the money in pre-flop would have been better, no? Because the times we go broke here it doesn't make a difference whether we pushed pre-flop or waited for the flop to push.
