The main thing is that chip EV and $ EV will match up, according to the usual way of thinking, because your chances of winning are proportional to the number of chips you have and that's the only prize. So there are lots of opportunities that you pass up in a normal SNG because they are +chip EV but - $EV that you can now take; calling with AQ when there are four people left and a bully is pushing goes from probably unadvisable to probably good, as an overgeneralized example. It's not quite a cash game, because the increasing blinds and inability to buy back in are still big factors, but it's closer than a normal tournament payout structure.
