Default Need help w/a MTT that I\'m playing tonight

I'm playing in a live NL MTT with about 20-25 players. $200 buy in, no rebuys or add ons; $10,000 chips. Each level will be either 20 or 25 minutes.

My question is, how do I adjust to the tourniment being w/o antes. The blinds will be at:
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1,000
600/1,200
800/1,400
1,000/2,000, ect.

There won't be any antes. So do I push w/ 8-12 BB, or when my M gets down toward 4 or 5? Is it OK to be pushing w/ any ace or king in EP if I have $5,000 and the blinds are 2/400?
Or should just fold those and wait a bit longer? Sorry if these are basic questions, I usually play cash limit games.

20 minute levels in live play are very short, thats about 15 hands.

Figure out early who the complete calling stations are early on and value bet them, but don;t push into them preflop. Push early and often into the other players.

Also, it would help if you can find out who the 200 bucks is a big deal to as they won't want to bust to early, you know, so they get their money's worth.
