Default strategy for full tilt 4-man heads-up sng\'s

i know stars has these, so i'm hoping someone who has played a lot can confirm or deny this theory which i am trying out on full tilt.

obviously there is the school of thought to make no adjustment from a normal heads up sng, now you just have to play two in a row if you win the first one.


but i have played a few now and think this idea might have merit. try to play really fast and loose in the first one. i don't mind getting it in with a coin flip, or making big semi bluffs all in, and here's why:

scenario 1: i lose quickly and can join another one. its a lot better to go broke here than it is to grind out a win in round 1, and then lose in round 2.

scenario 2: i win early and advance to the finals...now i get to railbird the other match and gain a major advantage for the second round.

has anyone made an adjustment like this on stars (or do any other sites have these?).

When I play HU SNGs, it's specifically to improve my game.
So I'd likely play them both the same.

What are the buyins on FT for the double shootouts? Is the vig half-priced like normal HU SNGs?
