Sage does better than to give you a 50.15 % edge over the long haul. Most players are terrible in the end game and following sage helps players (like you apparently) have the discipline to do something a lot more +EV than minraising 44 with 6bbs because "he folds all his weak hands."

Seriously, I doubt you're playing more EV than Sage offers you as a whole.

The adjustments that make it more +EV to do rather than play SAGE are not really that difficult to make, but it's easier said than done and you can actually decrease your edge by steering away from SAGE. You can also increase it, but I don't think you're doing that from the limited amount of end game posting you've done here.

And how is Martingale +EV in a realistic situation?
