Find out the specifics of this particular shootout first and I cant give more specific advice

Otherwise, generally its just a SNG that only pays out 1st place (assuming this is standard shootout, some allow top 2 or 3 to advance).

Play it similiarly to how you'd play a normal SNG with one noteable exception. You are playing to win! That means taking a risk a little more often (if necessary and if you are the one getting the $$ in)

Tight play is generally the optimal strategy early one, but play the opposite of your table -- if they will allow you to accumulate chips early with steals then do it -- just do so carefully.

More so than other times do not allow yourself to get short. Begin shoving with a wide variety of hands to pick up blinds as they increase rather than wait around for a big hand and lose enough chips where your double up isnt even meaningful anymore
