Default Thunderstorm/Turbo

Hi guys, just a quick question about these types of SnGs. As I'm sure you know, this is when the blinds increase incredibly fast. At a 6max table it's every 3 hands the blinds double. At a full ring table it's every 5 hands.

Now, I've been playing quite a few of these games over the past couple of days and have had varying degrees of success.

I was using general rule of thumb for SnG. Play extremely tight early and loosen up as the bubble hits to try and steal some blinds. The only problem is quite often I didn't even had a playable hand by the time the blinds were up at 320 and you only start with 1000 chips. Especially on 6max.

Am I playing this correctly and they are difficult games to consistently win, or should I completely change my strategy as the blinds rise so fast?

Any help would be appreciated.

You realise you can't loosen up in the conventional manner, you're basically in push fold from the get go?

Surely you do not mean pre-flop?

Should I limp on hands such as AJo or JTs hands and then if the flop hits shove?

Little more information would be helpful piv.
