But it applies to MTT:s not STT:s.

Why wouldn't it apply to STTs? What is the difference between a final table of 10 players and a single table tournament that started with 10 players? The concept is based on the ratio of your chip stack to the blinds, and how you should play based on this ratio. That should be independent of how many players started the tournament.

Just one example, but in a 10-handed SNG, 3 places pay. In the final table of an MTT all 10 places pay (typically). This changes the $EV of any given move significantly.

Similarly, at the beginning of an STT you're way closer to the money than you are at the beginning of an MTT. This tends to mean that you should be willing to take fewer risks in the beginning of an STT than an MTT.
