Default PP Speed Tournaments/Questionable Play

Anyone in this forum play the PP Speed Tournaments? I just played my first one this morning and I have to say it was alot of fun. I placed 35 out of 490. Alot of luck involved. Pretty amazing how quickly a huge stack can get knocked down when the blinds increase so fast.

Any ideas on specific changes to typical MTT strategy when playing these speed tournies?

I had one hand where I seriously questioned my play. Blinds were 4,000/8,000 if I remember correctly. I was the button with 2nd largest stack, 8900 chips and had A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG has largest stack (11,300 chips) and has been pushing everyone around, he goes all-in. Everyone folds around to me. I fold. I would have gladly called if the call wouldn't have required me to go all-in. I feel that my fold was sort of weak compared to my typical play. Was this the correct play? Should I have called?

The result was: Big Blind calls, flop comes rags, UTG shows J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and wins the pot with high card King.
