seconded. I play SNGs because I don't know how to play poker. Past 100NL, there's a TON more profit to be made.

I have opposite problem.Yesterday I lost 14 buy-ins, when I played SNG (11+1) with maniacs.Playing tight, I almost every sng stay alive down to last 6-5 players, with reasonable stack.Then start stealing blinds.
BUT yesterday, 5 of 6 players see the flop, I cannot bluff.They call BB, raise , push EVERY flop or preflop. It is pure gambling when you try win over 5 players in one push.

I want to say that, playing tight it beginning of tournament is right, because there is lot of players who call you with anything and drawing against 5 callers is deadly for me.

without reading above...

TAG play is better suited for low limit sng's because it allows you to exploit the biggest mistake in low limit players, the fact that they call too much...

aggresive betting chasing draws doesn't help you much because these fools will call you down w/ middle/bottom pair.

I believe TAG poker has been tested as the most profitable style of play in SNG's...

yes, but if you have about 2000 chips and blinds are 200/400 you cannot wait too long for good cards!And if you get them, you have still 5 players on the flop.
