Hi all,

I generally only play internet poker for fun ($3 SnGs on PS, slowly making profit). I've just started playing a weekly game with about 10 people, and would really appreciate any thoughts on playing style.

It's $10 buy-in NL tournament, starting around 8pm, and $10 rebuys are allowed until 11pm if you lose all your chips (but no add-ons). I wouldn't want to pay for more than one rebuy per game though. There's only one prize, winner takes all.

We start with 200 chips each, and blinds are 1/2 until 11pm, giving a good 3 hours with tiny blinds. They then go up every half hour in the standard increments: 2/4, 3/6, 5/10 etc.

Play is a lot looser than my internet games, with usually at least 5 people to every flop, and some really bad hands being played. Should I be playing most hands, since the blinds are so cheap? Or keeping to my usual tightish style? The blinds seem tiny to me, but I have no other experience with home games or casino games so I don't know.

There are no prizes for 2nd place, so does that mean extreme aggression when the blinds (eventually) get big?

Thanks!
