So I tried playing some of full tilt's low stakes MTT's...Im mainly a cash player though, and you start with a 1500 chip stack with 15/30 blinds so u only get 50bb's to start...after 10 mins it changes to 20/40 and u only have 37.5bb's left =(

Basically is it a donk fest?

whats the best strategy when playing these? Is it just a push or fold until you can manage to harvest 100bbs+?

Hi
First excuse me for my english I am a fenchman...
I play a lot of this tournaments and usually the best thing to do is to play really tight in the first levels when your M is over 20. often, in the first levels I also call with suited hands and PP in position when their are good pot odds, trying to flop some kind of draws or monsters, because most of the time you are going to double up if you hit. If you can build a big stack at this point, you just start playing tight again waiting you get some hands and playing theme agressively. When you come at the point where your M is about 10 you juste push with a good hand and try to double up. You shouldnt try to much bluffs except Cbets against 1 player, because the Fold equity nearly doesnt exist in this tournaments. They are very few allins and slowplays but nearly no Vbets so take advantage of it.
Hope that will help you a little bit
