Shootout vs SnG

[vandalay]

Can someone point me in the direction of differences between shootout matches and SnG.

I did a search and do not see much.

So far, I can say that since you have to win it all, at times it pays to be even more agressive and take more coinflips.

Where winner takes all, what do we do different?

makes decisions based on chip ev like a cash game

Yeah, you pretty much got it. cEV = $EV so you can loosen up some. Plus of course there's no bubble. Play it like a cash game.

there's no bubble......


thats a HUGE difference.

this is why you should be more willing to gamble with slight edges/deficits in shootouts.
