Different Strategy for Speed Tournaments

[DaNoob]

I just signed up at Old West Poker because of the low limit SnGs they offer and because my old standby, UB, has been sucking lately.

Not realizing it, I sit down at a "Speed Tourney" SnG and proceed to witness the fastest and craziest tourney I've ever seen. 3 people go all-in on the first hand, all with 2nd class hands at best. I didn't understand this until I realized what the tourney format was:

9 people
Starting stack: T2000
Starting Blinds: T20/40
Blinds go up every 3 minutes.

I started on the SB and by the time the blinds had made it back around to me, they were already 100/200. The 2nd orbit to me the blinds were 2/3 of my stack.

Finally, on the last BB I would see, I end up with AJo. 2 callers to me and I push all-in. Called by AA and 22 and a 2 falls on the flop.

So, my question is, how do you adjust your strategy to increase your chances in these tournies?

Well, my number one strategy adjustment would be to not play at all!

My second strategy would be to play any reasonable after round 3 likes its the nuts. Especially if people are calling with 22 and such and going all in all the time.
