I am in dire need of some pointers for playing turbo SnGs with high blinds. I have had a lot of second place finishes lately, even when i started with something like a 2:1 chip lead at heads up. I find myself conflicted between seemingly terrible moves (shoving with hands like 10-5o) or giving them up and quickly bleed to death.
The SnG:s i play tend to be a bit too defensive early on, and at heads up, the blinds will be something like 600/1200 or 1000/2000, which is quite a bit when the total chip pool is 20k.
What range do you recommend to play in these games, and what's your general approach when the deepest stack has 6-7BBs?
Thankful for any advice!

I am one of the lowerstakes players... so there are many people on the forum that have more experience and are more successful than me...
IMO: Apply pressure on your buttons. Don't give any free flops! Your OP will only hit the flop 1/3rd of the time, so I tend to give very little credit to C-bets. Personally I will shove a huge range of hands... A5+, K8+,QT+, 66+. Hopefully you can get some feedback from some other players. If you can force them to fold a few blinds to you... when you do get called you will have a bigger chip lead and most likely be in a 60/40 flip.

If your looking at M of 5 or so average, it's just push push push. There's no more skill involved.
