Default SNG advice :; chasing draws in sngs.

Part of my style that I feel is different to most is that early on when the blinds are small I like to see alot of flops with suited connectors, sometimes in MP, but usually in LP. I believe this is different to alot of people's strategy of not playing these hands at all and only playing big pairs and AK early on.

Do you think my strategy of playing these hands will be profitable in the long run (obviously i knnow i dont want to go broke with top pair with a sutied connector, im looking to hit straights or flushes).. which sort of brings me onto my next point.

IF you do flop top pair with this sort of hand, would you bet into a few players to atleast see whee you are, or do you believe this is a waste of chips since if you get played back at you are pretty much folding, and the amount of times you get played back at when betting top pair with a suited connector doesn't justify the amount of times you win a small pot with it only, and therefore ONLY play these hands for straights/flushes.

If you are ONLY playing suited connectors in LP for straights/flushes, when is it "correct" to chase your draw. I like to play my draws aggressively and if in position usuallly raise to try and get a free card. Do you believe early in the tournament it is never worth wasting chips on going for a draw since there are better times to gamble? or is it correct to chase if you are getting odds to do so?

I agree with the fact that later in the tornament near bubble time it is too risky to risk your whole tournament on a draw especially if you have e nough chips to survive to the money, but is it worth it early on, lets say if there are 2 allins on the flop infront of you and you are getting 2-1 + dead money on the nut flush draw...to gamble, try and triple up and be in a better position to win the tournament rather than making it harder to survive later on as a result of being shortstacked?

Any opinions appreciated.
