As far as antes go, in a game with antes it adds much more to the intitial pot which increase your pot odds to get involved. SNG's (at least at PP) have no ante, only blinds. So the pot odds are lower. However, in NL SNG's you should be looking at implied odds anyways. So with 1000 starting chips the implied odds are higher than in the 800 limits. So theoretically, we could see a few more hands on the chance we can stack someone. I believe Sklansky said something like in NL you can see more flops if you can get in cheaply because of the implied odds. Of course, this would assume you are good at post flop play. And thern there is the debate between those that play uber tight to make the bubble and then go into push bot mode and those that try to take advantage of the fishies before someone else does. So I guess there are several competing philosophies that seem to counteract each other.
