Thought this might be nice to post. A lot of people lately seem to be posting on the boards saying they have trouble closing out a SnG, because they struggle to play HU with blinds so big and stacks so shallow. I'll psot one of my HU histories from the end of a $10 PartyPoker SnG below (this particular one was rather spectacular), and I'll show you my style of playing them, which is basically a pick your spot and push preflop kinda style.

Take a look, if you have any questions/comments, feel free to post:
