    Default Needing help with 49 player tournament play

    Hey guys.
    I am wanting too find out what you would recommend in a local brick and mortar game

    $1000 starting chips, new players $2000 can buy back in of $3000
    Blinds (Every 15 Minutes)
    25/50
    50/100
    100/200
    BREAK (15 Minutes)
    200/400
    300/600
    400/800
    BREAK
    500/1000
    1000/2000

    Then it is usually the final table and up from there.

    Up until the break it is basically too small too steal the blinds playing only premium maybe bluff?
    After the break there are alot of players who buy in or chip up too a max of $3000.
    I feel this section is a big area too start stealing the blinds, playing premium hands a couple of flush draws.

    But yeh i am wanting too find out what you think you should do in this type of game.

    I came 10th tonight out of 49 with the strategy above, but the blinds hit me , lost two pots.
    Flush draw with pocket 2's and a big over bet, i folded but would of hit trip two's on the river.
    Then lost another pot.

    Any tips, suggestions?
    Thanks guys.

    That blind structure sucks if you start with 1000, and I don't understand rebuys of 2K/3K?

    Don't bluff early, but with these blinds "early" means the first level.

    50000 chips in play, after 90 min we assume half are gone, so 25 ppl share 50K chips, and a blind round is 1200? everyone's M is about 2

    k, so with a bunch of rebuys 25 ppl share 100K chips, Ms are still only 4. Sounds like a crapshoot

    Or did I misunderstand this?

    Its basically free poker run by an organization here in australia that if you go well you go too state championships / free satellites too stuff like the aussie millions etc.
    Each player starts with $1000 chips.
    If you bring a friend, the friend gets his starting $1000 plus a bonus $1000, the player who brings a new friend also gets $1000 for bringing him.

    So if you are playing against people they could start off with $1000 or $2000 chips.

    My thing is the blinds go up quick so your big blind is usually 3x-7x big blind at all times?

    So its different too playing a proper MTT where you all start with the same chips.
