Decided to read some of the threads from this section of the forum and would like to ask a few questions about NL cash play and the differences between it and sng play.

Why do you guys heavily suggest Full buy ins as opposed to half buy ins?

I noticed a number of references to a tactic called 3-betting. What is this and when is it good to use. (i assume its raising a reraise but it seems to have tactical importance here.)

What is the optimal style of play? In sngs i play tight, save chips and pull the trigger around the bubble. With 100 buy ins am i looking to always play tight or is playing more aggressively (eg limping marginals and hoping to flop disguised monsters) a good idea?

Please give some advice.
