NO ACES RAGS and limp with low pkts in the begining but dont call anyhting greater athan 2x the bb with them preflop. `5 min blinds arent bad but 10 is marginal .gl in it

raise rather than limp

play aggressively and try to accumulate chips early (this does't mean play rags, but it means take control of hands)

take chances early if neccessary to build a big stack.

play hands that can be hidden and do well multiway (such as low pairs suited connectors/one gappers for example) Ace Rag offsuit is trash, dont call with it

dont get under 10 BBs, if you do, remember your only move preflop is all in if u dont fold

I'm with Zybomb on this one. With horrible structures like that you can't play a tight strategy unless you get very lucky. It's either aggressive, or hyper-aggressive. I think hyper-aggro is the best style in these tournies early on, players do not like busting out right away and you should be able to accumulate. Raise and re-raise until they cry, then you might just find yourself with a stack big enough to see some flops later on instead of all-in or fold. You can't be afraid of busting out in the first 30 min as it's a defenite possibility with this style.

Exactly... and in these crap shoot type structures, your goal with this strategy is either to bust out in the early levels, otherwise build a big chip stack and be in good position to go very deep

Remember this doesnt involve playing trash! It involves, seeing cheap flops with good mutliway hands, playing hands aggressively, and taking gambles for a large chip stack (raising all in on a flush draw, taking the 99 vs AQ coin flip, etc)
