i play a few of these a week at a club near me. we start a little deeper t4000 15 min levels starting 25-50. I ve done well consistantly at this place by basically treating it as a longer SNG. i play very tight in the beginning and look for good spots and cheap flops in pos in multiway pots with suited connectors, suited aces etc. i have found instead of using M i substitute BBs in its place and play HOH systems using BBs in place of the M. this gives a little more freedom and it seems to put you in a little better place when you start stealing if you've been card dead or lost a couple of hands early on with the added benefit of the blinds having significantly more value. also, hopefluly you'll be final 2 or 3 tables by this time and the more passive players and afraid of busting while the better players have some concept of a basic gap and wont be calling you down with A3os like a lot of the early players.
this works for me and my playing style which may be more conservative than yours.
