Default Harrington\'s \"First In Vigourish\"

I'm reading HOH Vol2,Inflection Points. This part of Harrington's book really applies to a weakness in my game.

I want to apply his theory of first in vigorish. But in the home tourny I play in, we start with only 30x the big blind. Blinds double every 10 minutes, so by the time we're down to the final table, everyone's in at least the orange zone.

My question is, Harrington's advice presumes a less aggressive game than our tourney. All our players act on this principle (first in vigorish) from the start of the tournament. Also, the blinds are so aggressive, that players compensate by having loose calling requirements.

I'm known as a tight aggressive player, more likely to fold preflop to aggression than post flop. What hands should I be going all-in on when my stack is in the orange zone (Keeping in mind I'm sure to get called, and that it's rare that at a 8-10 handed table, a player in early position won't raise)? What hands are good enough to call with when we're 4 handed or less?

Specifically, how do you feel about Jx-Qx-Kx?
