Every day at 11am I play the NLHE tournament at the local casino and the blind structure is fast

Starting Chips........$5,000
Blinds......................15 minutes

$100/200
$200/400
$300/$600
$500/$1000
$1000/$2000
$2000/$4000
etc

You start with 25BB. Most days I find that I play one or two hands max and then I'm into all-in range. By the time you hit the third orbit and blind-off $300 $600, if you haven't caught a hand you are less than 6BB.

I've been simply playing tight and then start pushing all-in. I find that I make it to the final table often, but I'm almost always the short stack. What are some of the better methods to play such turbo blind structure? Is extra tight a good or bad strategy? Should I be pushing all good hands right away? Should I be trying to limp the first two orbits?

any advice would be great.

Andy

swiggidy will become famous soon enough
 1) get good hands
2) Be willing to gamble
3) Be able to tolerate massive swings

study push/fold poker. Kill em all or whatever would probably be a great book. Don't expect people to think you're a great player. By playing mathematically correct everyone at the table will call you a donk.

You could play turbo's online for practice.
