All,A local radio station in Dallas, TX is having the following promotion:8 sub-qualifying Texas Hold'em tournaments...each sub-qualifier has 100 participants...there will be 10 tables of 10 players...the winner of each table will qualify for their final tournament...the final tournament will consist of 80 players, the winner will receive a WSOP Main event package...It's free entry and the payouts you 2nd place pays nothing, it's winner take all.I won a spot in one of the sub-qualifiers. Given the following blind structure and starting chips any suggestions/recommendations on strategies? (Before you read on, the blind structure is the worst i've ever seen so don't waste your time saying how awful it is...it is what it is...I would like some suggestions on strategies given the shitty blind structure)Starting chips: 1,000 (yes, that's one thousand not ten thousand :(Blinds go up every 10 minutes at the following rate:25/5050/100100/200200/400500/10001000/20002000/4000 (not sure why the go this high...only 10,000 chips at the tableSuggestions? Go all in the first time I get AQ or any pocket pair J's or better? i figure I have 20 minutes max before I have to make a move.

This is a crapshoot. Don't get involved in a hand after the first level unless you're prepared to have all your chips in the middle. Be ultra-tight and pray you get a premium hand in the first 45 minutes.
