Stupid question...
I played 2 friendly 15$ 20 men SNGs on friday night... I won the first and took second place in the second. (almost no skills here the structure is awfull)
In the second I had 725 000 chips VS 75 000 chips when it comes to HU play...
Blinds were 25K/50K... told you the structure was awfull!
So I decided I was going allin blind from the button on every dam hands!
I mean I will win a 40/60 in the next 4 hands.... I mean I should!!! + the flod equity will come in play at one point!!!
belive it or not he managed to win 5 consecutive coinflips to take 1st place!!! In fact I was 60/40 favorite in one of them with AT VS K9... + he folded a few hands in the process!!! And some from button!!!!
In that case it dosent mather, it was more funny than anything, but do you think my ''strategy'' was pretty much ok or I should have begin to play poker when his stacks reached close to half of mine.
I mean not here, any way the blinds were so high... but next time I have that kind of chip lead I might be playing for a lot more than a 50$ gap between 1st and 2nd!!!!

I think both are correct! Going all in preflop reduces the hand to an exercise in probability, and when you've got 725K vs. 75K, I like those odds! But since every new hand is a new exercise, even stacks are a different scenario and perhaps "playing poker" would be more correct at that point.
Of course, since the blinds and 25K/50K, going all in may not be necessary since the blinds will eat his stack pretty quickly.
I had a similar situation in my first-ever Omaha SnG, when I got to heads up with a chip advantage of just over 2 to 1. (Not quite so drastic as yours.) Since I had never played heads-up Omaha in any format before, I figured the best way to eliminate the problem of my lack of experience would be to get him all in every hand and hope to scoop once before he could scoop twice. Which I did, fortunately.
