A brief look at the structure tells me this is a faster (shorter stack) structure than a normal 'Stars tourney, but after the antes kick in it will get as fast as a turbo.

Play aggro with position. Go pushbot at ~5 M for the NEXT level. (e.g. at 200/400/a50, you are push/fold with <10,000.)

Kurn, can you please explain "M"?
i'll dig through the forum looking for it while I wait, but I doubt i'll find the answer.

A link would be nice if its already been posted.

M = Blinds + antes or. the cost of one orbit at a full table

If you're looking for individual live play things

- Don't string bet. Either announce your bet (preferred) or make sure to grab all your chips in one motion/count them behind your cards

- You cant see the pot size by putting the mouse clicker above it -- so try and calculate it in your head at all times so you can act and bet accordingly

- Always know players stack sizes, frequently ask as is necessary.

- Look for obvious weak means strong strong means weak type tells, you'll find a lot of them

- Look for discrepancies in players actions, i.e used large denomination of chips sometimes and small denomination other times, announces raise while throwing in a call first vs just raising all in one shot etc

- Rather than look at the flop when it comes out, (especially if u r last to act) instead look at your opponent and see if you can tell if he liked it. Similarly don't check your hole cards immediately, watch your opponents as they check theirs.

- Be friendly at the table --- it'll make everyone want to keep you around for longer
