i've noticed something helpful at UB, on the $20 and $30 sngs...the really good players are there from about 11 to 7 EST...TUFF tables, MVP...but then at around 9:30 EST, the really loose or bad players come on...
i color code rate all whom i play against....green is bad, yellow is fair, orange is darn good, and red, you'd better find another game (altho, the challenge is often fun with reds) Rating them based on how well i'm seeing them play....
Yesterday, in a game, the whole table with about 8 players left were orange, with 2 yellows...which is a tuff table...maybe a red or two...later that night, at around 10 EST,
just about the whole table were greens...so many chasing draws, calling reraises with only a low top pair, many all in bluffs, etc.,,,that they're hard to beat....anyway, hope it helps...
( you have the funniest sayings on your signatures...where do you get them?...keep'em coming...er, not, the ladies, the signatures)

And you're still not guaranteed a victory. Many a time I've been tossed out of a SnG early calling an all-in with AA, only to have somebody draw a flush or a straight or even trips. The maniacs go all-in on ANY pocket pair, or if they hit a pair on the flop, even if there are over cards on the board.
That said, I'll still call an all-in anytime with AA or KK.

I've played about 150 SNGs at UB now, and IMO, I don't get real concerned with my stack size (if around $1K) until 75/150 blinds. At that point, I either start looking for a decent pair to push for an all in steal, or a big ace for a steal. Start chipping away at the other medium stacks trying to make it ITM. Don't steal on a guy that has you outchipped by $5000 - you know this already, why am I saying it?
I actually like it when there is one tool shed who has $6000 in chips early. If you've played tight, you probably have most of your stack left, so you can take a couple shots on the other short stack when the cards arrive. AND, at UB, they seem to arrive in bunches. For example, in 6-8 hands in a row last night on one table, I got kings twice, AQ twice, AA, and AJ, I actually showed the cards to the other guys, because they flat out couldn't believe it, and I was killing them, so I wanted them to know I really was getting the cards, and not being a jerk.
There is something about the computer generated shuffling I think, that causes big cards to come in bunches. Of course, crappy cards come in bigger bunches, so maybe its just mean reversion. Hope this helps.
