Because many people play many hands in the first fase of the SNG (when the blinds are low) u don't get much value out of playing almost any hand. Don't try to steal then but only play good hands and play them aggressive. Play tight when the blinds are low and you'll see that when you've reached the second fase, with medium blinds, 3 or 4 players will be eliminated already.
And now the blinds are getting higher, and you probably have got a tight image, so stealing becomes very valuable. You're also almost ITM so play tight to get there.
In the last fase it's push, call or fold. You're almost or already ITM and now you want to win! Depending on your stack and position you can play about any hand.
