From my guide to NLHE tournament play

D. How to Play a Party Poker Speed Tournament

These play like normal tournaments until about 20% of the field is left. At that point, you should stop playing any hands unless forced to by the blinds. You should also stall, regardless of your stack size. If you are not a short stack, you soon will be with the escalating blinds.

From that point forward, you should play no hands, except when put allin by the blinds. You should also continue to stall once the tournament is hand-for-hand. That way you can slow the whole tournament down. This is great for combating the idiots who tried to accumulate a big stack rather than just dodge the blinds. This way almost everyone will be put allin by the blinds. If you get lucky, and win your twice round confrontation with the other blind and any jerk who plays a big hand, you can make the final table.

that was fun. 720 entries, i finised around 140th. i p1ayed just two hands: AKs towards the beginning (cost me 300 against some suckout) and at the end when I was BB (89s did nothing).

what a crapshoot.
