I just won a B&M sitnNgo with an unfriendly structure- 15 minute blinds, 300 chips, blinds 10/15 15/25 25/50 50/100 100/200 200/400, etc. The first time I tried it, I kept limping and then too soon I was in push or fold mode. So the next time, I vowed not to limp. I cringed when I folded J8 and the flop was JxJ but then my stack was scary in later hands. Then I won hands by calling an all in with a pair of sixes and having it hold up, and a flush hand where I had the higher flush. So my advice is 1) don't limp 2)be willing to take coin flips. 3) If you decide to play a hand, play it to the hilt. or, possibly, don't play tournaments with an unfriendly structure.
