I feel like I'm playing too tight

[sofere]

I've been trying to break into the MTT scene. I've played in maybe about 15 so far and have cashed in one (4 out of 700) where I have gotten good cards throughout, but haven't really come close in the others.

I play on Pacific Poker, so PT isn't compatible (maybe i should switch sites), but I feel like I am only seeing the flop on less than 10 hands for the first hour, so the blinds are always eating at me. It gets me so frustrated that when I finally get a playable hand, I play it overly aggressive or am already in all-in fold mode because of the blinds. Also, after I haven't seen a flop in about 2 orbits, I might try to steal the blinds with a 3xbb open from cutoff or button, but that never seems to work.

Does anyone have any advice as to how I can keep my head in the game? More importantly what type of starting hands should I be willing to limp with in mid and late position? Early in the tourneys everyone loves to see the flop and people will raise to 2-3xBB from early position with pretty much any two face cards or any pockets (and will get called by a number of people). Should I even bother trying to steal blinds in these loose tables?

In these tourneys, stacks start at T800 and blinds start at 10/20 going up every 10 or 15 mins depending on the tourney. I usually get knocked out after blinds jump from 25/50 to 50/100 or 50/100 to 75/150 cause I am almost always shortstacked (~10xbb or less) at that point.
