Early and Mid Stage Strategy for Sunday Millions 5 Early and Mid Stage Strategy for Sunday Millions 5

I've played over 5 Sunday Millions now and have re-entered in 2 of them.
Overall result, I didn't make it ITM even in single one of them.

I find it exceedingly difficult to even double up my stack in first 2 hrs of the game. Some tables I got were fairly conservative and very tight play, if someone 3-bets don't expect anything else than KK type players.
On the other hand, some tables I find 2-3 players who spew a lot of chips which can be easily exploited by a 3-bet, 4-bet, jam or c-bet, or jam on river.
On such tables I have seen players putting all their chips (or >75% of their stack) in and get lucky, like winning the 10-90 or 30-70 lucky.

Additionally I find for almost everyone the strategy in early stages is min raise any strong hand and play only relatively tight.

In mid stages however, SB shove over BB with anything >55, raise, re-raise, even jams with inferior hands are quite common. But the problem is only isolating the spewing player from tight players is incredibly hard, 3/4 way pots everyone clings to any kind of draws.

Overall, I've found myself getting busted with relatively coin flip hands eg TT vs Ak and also by incredible bad beats eg KJs vs 36s on flop T7sKo, and some coolers like JJ vs AJ on AXXJA board.

Seems to me all the decisions are pretty much automatic if the opponent history is not taken into account.

Any help on what strategy one should choose for playing early and mid stages of Sunday Millions and what is % of ITM for such a huge tournament one can expect. Typically I've seen it running for well over 12 hrs with 5k to 7k entries.

I've had only few okay results in Tournaments and I am a losing player overall in MTT format.

This is a much better version of the "Click on unknown links as posted by a stranger" thread than the usual promise of free streaming of a soccer game. Voted 5 stars (for effort.)

Not that I clicked these or anything, but 2+2 does allow for mousing-over to see what the URL is. At least at first glance they don't look shady...
