Print money in SNGs then, because lots of people there believe in ICM (coincidentally brought into poker by MM) and stuff like that.
They'll do stuff like jam SB into BB 60% expecting you to call only 15% from the BB but if you are just playing for 1st then you can maximise your chipEV by calling more like 40%.
When the situation is reversed and you know they're only calling 15% on the bubble you can jam any two cards for chipEV.
You will get more 1sts than most people and fewer 2nds and 3rds. Good luck - and don't forget to let us know how you get on.
