Tournament I'm Playing In

[river_me_this 0]

Hi I'm playing in a tournament this Saturday. Its a $40 buy with $20 add-on and I plan to add-on. The structure starts as with the add-on i'll have 3000 in chips with level 1 blinds at 10-20 and the levels are 20 minutes long. How should I play in this tournament? The players are just calling stations so I feel that using the small ball strategy would be pretty ineffective in this setting. Should I just go for the double up right away or should I try using the sm. ball strategy? With the blinds going up so fast I feel that I could be blinded off relatively fast even though it is pretty deep stacked. Any input on how I should play is appreciated! Thanks.

need more info > blind structurePlay small pots early, big pots later.You'll notice people start to tighten up as the blinds rise... those who were limping frequently are slowing down. Attack these people.

You really won't be deep enough for small ball. Play it as you would a regular online tournament as the structure sounds similar to a 3000 chip turbo online. Small ball is more suited for deepstack tournaments.

These tournaments play super fast. Expect that you will be all in with any hand you play.
