I am playing in a tournament next week with the following structure. Any thoughts on a general strategy I should pursue. The blind levels go up every 40 minutes which is nice but it's still pretty aggressive considering you only start with 1500 chips. There will probably be over 100 players. Thanks in advance for your input.

sorry about the formating:

only the first level doesnt have a double big blind
the rest is standard

i think its not the most wonderful structure in the world, but its better than 85% of home game tournament structures out there.
