I noticed the book focuses on the 50/30/20 model. I play on Bodog sometimes and was wondering what opinion and adjustment you make on the 30/25/20/15/10 model (Bodog Beginner tournaments)?

Related to the above, the 18-player $1.20 SNG on PokerStars pays out 4 places: 4th $1.80, 3rd $3.60, 2nd $5.40, 1st $7.20.

IN a situation like this where the jumps in income do not get bigger as you go up the ladder, is it best to try to move up one place at a time, rather than take risks to jump up more than one spot?

Specifically, is it often true that you can be 5th of 5, avoid any all-ins, play conservatively, and move up at least one spot with little risk because someone will be knocked out before I get under 10bb.
