can someone please tell me what the main differents is to 18 man in a nutshell.
esp. in the money. should you play for the win or be more risk averse.
I don't play much differently except for shoving a LOT wider than in a 9man, particularly when the tables are short, and calling very tight near the money.

Full Tilt - $2+$0.25|25/50 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3
CO: 1,605.00
BTN: 2,855.00
SB: 1,270.00
BB: 3,090.00
UTG: 1,280.00
Hero (UTG+1): 1,380.00
MP: 970.00
MP+1: 1,050.00
SB posts SB 25.00, BB posts BB 50.00
Pre Flop: (75.00) Hero has A Q
fold, Hero raises to 150.00, fold, MP+1 calls 150.00, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 100.00
Flop: (475.00, 3 players) Q K 3
BB checks, Hero checks, MP+1 bets 50.00, BB calls 50.00, Hero calls 50.00
Turn: (625.00, 3 players) J
BB checks, Hero checks, MP+1 bets 150.00, fold, fold
I'd tend to raise the flop but we're a bit short for it. I definitely wouldn't fold the turn as played but I wouldn't call another shot on the river.

I'm playing MTT's since like 2 years and occasionaly throwed in some 4/180s & 2/180 turbos into my session.
I work from 8-5 during weekdays and don't want to grind all the variancefests (mostly playing smallstakes turbos during the week and playing full schedule on friday/saturday when I have time to play.)
my BR is at like 1,6k and I mostly play on stars.
What game would you reccomend to have as standart game/start?
buyinrange should be like 2-6$ I guess (I was spewy with my BR playing MTT's a lot so I'd like to get on the nittier side and just focus about my maingame.)
You could certainly play 6.5s on that bankroll, 11s on Tilt. You're in theory rolled for 16s on Stars, but given that you don't know how to play, you should probably begin lower.

Good videoseries on coachingsites for ss sng's?
only have pokersavvy & tpe, obv can subscribe to another if theres a lot of stuff.
I'd strongly recommend AMT's Last Man Standing on DeucesCracked.
Grinderschool is/was decent. Glitlr's videos get a lot of praise. I can't remember the site darinvg was on, but they were quite decent.
tbh, I'd advise Moshman's book for beginners. It's not perfect, but you'll get the idea.

oh and which tools else then sngwizard/HEM (which stats do you use?)/stove are helpful?
To beat STTs, you really need a good understanding of ICM, so SNG Wiz is a must.
I use HEM and I'd definitely recommend it. What stats to use is a matter of what you personally find useful.
I use: VPIP/PFR/AF/no. of hands Cbet/Fold to cbet/3bet Steal/FoldBB to steal/3bet steal
but you have to be cautious with some of them. For instance, I use Steal to get an idea whether someone is position aware, not to put them on a range as such. I use 3bet steal mostly for regs, because light 3betting is all the rage in the games I play but I don't want to stack myself against those nits who don't do it. FoldBB to steal is much more useful when you filter and have a decent sample.
