I'm not meaning to brag, but I think I'm the most successful at these out of everyone on the forum. All I can come up with is some pretty simple advice though.

I'm sure you have noticed that over half the field is gone by the first break. EVERY TIME. what that says to me is alot of people try to play the double up or bust out quick strategy. DONT DO THIS. Play tight as fuck and just wait for the big hands. Of course getting paid off when You get something good helps alot in this stage. I find just by playing tighter than normal in the first hour, I can usually be above average after the first break. If I dont hit any hands though, I'm in big trouble and will need to get lucky at least once.

After the first break is where you really crank it up. Like put that bitch in overdrive. Steal as many blinds as possible if your table is passive. If It is agressive, then try to see some cheap flops in position and take advantage of your opponents need to bet anything. One thing I have gotten better at recently is taking notice of at least 2 players at your table who are passive post-flop. Isolate against these players as much as possible and just rob them of chips.

Thats pretty much all I can think of for now, I will probably post some more later when more comes to my head. I will also probably make a video of me playing one after finals are done, but knowing me, I will crack under the pressure and bust in 40th or so with everyone watching.
