How the hell...Can't Post

Can you profit in Party Poker's multi-table sit and goes?  I'm talking about the
30 and 50 player sit and goes where the blinds go up every 12 minutes and the
average stack is usually only 10-15 big blinds?  Is the correct strategy just
all-in or fold by the 4th level or so?  There's virtually no room for post-flop
play in these.

But if you must, you have to play to the structure. Get all of your
money in when you have good hands, betting them hard pre-flop. Blinds
are valuable when they're 5 to 10 percent of a stack. Build up your
chip through naked tight-aggressive play. Later, people despise
trapping and check raising in structures like that, so do that a lot. :)

You already know the answer. Yes you can profit, and yes everyone's in
the same boat. Let them make the rash moves. When everyone is
short-stacked relative to the blinds you will be pushing or folding
either preflop or on the flop a LOT of the time.

Look to re-raise all-in (steals or "for value") on the flop a lot. the
third time you do it, make sure have the goods... etc.

Remember that there is frequently equity in just not getting involved
(with hands like AJ, unless you're going to push), because they'll beat
each other and you move up the payscale.

There are usually more than enough opportunities to get your chips in
against donkeys who call too much or tighties who fold too much.
paying attention to individual opponents becomes pretty important. Are
either of the two players remaining behind you or the mid. limper
likely to call a pre-flop push with medicre aces or small pairs? is
now a good time to all-in steal? etc.

just my two cents, good luck!

Just placed 5th out of 50.  I generally played more hands and played most of
them more aggressively.  Due to the quickly escalating blinds, you have to play
quick.  The hand I went out on, blinds were 600/1200 and I raised to 2600 with
A-K from the button, small blind folded, chip leader moved all-in.  I ALMOST
laid it down and waited for a better spot, since I was in 3rd, but I was playing
for first place at that point.  He had K-K.  Oh well.
