When I play I always try to be very patient and play with strong hands, to be lethal as soon as possible, since this is a short tournament.

Understand the icm of the format.

Game select, no easier way to win than playing with bad players. This is much easier if you color code players and can view who is registered .

Study what the regs are doing and have a counter for it.

I started as a regular in SnGs, playing for Galeos Poker. I remember that I use to play against the same players often, so I had to take some time to study their game.
And a big part of my study was ICM short stack situations.

The biggest difference is ICM. In SNGs, surviving to the money is often more important than accumulating chips. Play tighter early, then get more aggressive around the bubble by stealing blinds and making good push/fold decisions.
