$100 Home mixed tourney, need help

[BoatLover88]

Hi, I was wondering what strategy adjustments I need to make for this home tourney taking place friday. It will be 24 man tourney. First takes 50% pool, 2nd takes 25%, and 3rd and 4th split the last 25%.

You start with 100 worth of chips. The first 45 minutes is going to be limit holdem with 2/4 blinds followed by 45 minutes of 4/8 limit holdem. Afterwards the blinds will be 5/10 blinds NO LIMIT holdem until the end. Almost every player there will rate from never played before to a fish. There may be 1 or 2 sharks in the field. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Do you mean to say that after the game switches to No Limit, the blinds stop increasing?!

Yes, I'm sure they will change it if the game never ends.

Please the tourney is tomorow.

Play tight during the limit portion and hope to get lucky and double up early in the NL portion. Fact is with that blind structure, its gonna be a crap shoot early and once some players get chips they will be able to play a bit. If a good NL player can get ahold of some chips during the limit portion, he should be able to run away with the thing once it switches to NL.
