I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. I'm looking for some general advice on how to handle this tournament format that a local underground club here runs on a nightly basis. Average number of entrants is around 30.

Buy-in is $25 ($20+5) which gets you t1500 chips.
You're allowed up to 3 rebuys total before the first break, each $10, and each one gets you another t1500 chips.
Blinds rise every 15 minutes.

Blind structure:

Level 1: 25/50
Level 2: 50/100
Level 3: 100/200
Level 4: 200/400
{BREAK}
Level 5: 400/800
Level 6: 800/1600
Level 7: 1600/3200
Level 8: 3200/6400
Level 9: 6400/12800
Level 10: 12800/25600

and so on. Blinds LITERALLY double every 15 minutes, and there is never any ante. I've never seen this tournament make it past Level 10. Payout is always to top 3:

1st Place: 50%
2nd Place: 30%
3rd Place: 20%

Since there's no ante, and the blinds literally double, I take the max rebuys immediately (t6000 in chips) in case I hit a monster during the first hour, and can get as much as possible out of all the looser callers who "can rebuy anyway."

Any advice on the best way to maneuver through this one? Thanks in advance.
