Default Ipoker Tourney Structure thoughts and tips?

There is no antes as you can see. Should this change my style very much? When do you suggest I start getting aggressive (I start stealing when antes kick in). Is it a bad structure?

No antes at all. Hence my question about adjusting strategy.

odd...just be very aware of your stack and the stacks of the others in relation to blinds...along with position stack awareness are your biggest factors

When do you reccomend to start stealing and become more aggressive?

Is it a bad structure without antes?
More of a crapshoot?

Get aggressive whenever you get good hand or can steal from nits (after 1st break would be the most likely time - assuming you haven't already nitted up and dwindled your stack before this).

I think the structure sucks personally. The no antes means stealing is less profitable, and in a structure that fast, you're gonna have to run like god to go deep.

Yeah the antes (or lack of) is what's getting me.

The blind structure doesn't look to bad but not having antes is always a huge negative for a tournament. As far as when to start playing aggressive i would say around 50/100 or 100/200, but basically whenever people are playing tight/weak i think you should start turning it on.
