Default sng (winner takes all)

I decided that i should probably start using the 10k fpps i have got at stars and think i'm going to start playing the 1500 fpp sngs where the winner gets a seat in a $215 tournament. I know a winner takes all tournament is not good odds at all however i have nothing else to do with them as i am interested in the clothing and have about every book they offer. so i was wondering how my play should change in such a sng? Should i still play so tight early on or try to get that chip lead asap? I would also like any info from people who have played these on the general play... do you find a lot of reckless players trying to double up early or bust? Pretty loose players in general? basically any ideas for such a game or any thoughts from those who have played them.

I'd play normal except don't start bubble play until there's 2 players left.

the thing is, you wont be able to get much fold equity later in the tourney when the blinds escalate. thats how you build a stack in a normal sng. when only one is payed, its best to revert to an agressive ring game approach early. if there are 3-4 limpers, feel free to pot it with 56s and bet 3/4 pot on the flop. things like that you can do to pick up pots that people dont want to mess around with. you are going to need to steadily accumulate chips, and win your coinflips near the end. blind stealing will work, but wont be as effective as in a normal sng. holla
