anyone have any suggestions for strategies to beat the following format, as my results seem to fluctuate a lot.

the game is a live SnG. 6-8 handed usually 6 or 7.

each player starts with T1000 and blinds at 10/20, doubling every hr.

the dealing is pretty slow so not as many hands per hr as you may imagine.

my strategy is as follows and is similar to how i play an online SnG

blinds, 10/20-20/40. very tight hand selection. i am mainly playing AA-TT and AK and AQ for a raise, maybe AJ in CO or button.

also i play the other pairs if i can see an unraised/cheap flop for set value. i may play Axs in late position. i play SC's less and only if there are enough limpers to build a decent size pot.

i am aiming to not risk my stack with poor cards and hope to have around T800-1200 for when the blinds become worthwhile. also i am building up a tight image.

40/80 onwards i use my tight image to buy some pots. lowering my starting requirements in late position etc.
