Nine left with only three paid is pretty harsh structure.

You need at least two double ups to get back into the game and even after your first double up you can't afford to let too many blinds pass you by. Hands that will call you will prob be AJ up and any pair above 8's, with nearly a full table to get round I would push with any two paint or 8's or better. Would fold any aces below A10. Suited connectors might be worth a gamble aswell. You have to push within the next 9 hands or so, so getting anything better than 78 suited might be unlikely.

After my first double up I will be looking to move with any good position as I would now have some fold equity.

Thats just my gut theory, I havn't done any maths on it.

doesnt seem right though - i mean, on 1 table SnGs they'll pay out on top 3 with 9/10 players so one would have thought they'd increase the payout by 1 seat for every table of 9/10 that there is - or am i missing the plot?

 10% of the fied paid is standard...in fact it's not even worth it if they pay more than 4 in this case.

I would wait for position.  Depending on the chip stacks u are facing when you are on the button, u might be able to pick up the blinds to give you another orbit or give anyone behind u the chance to pick up a hand.

IMHO 6-15 players top three paid, 16-30 players top four paid, 31+ top 10% rounded up. I would reluctantly play a 30 seater with only top 3 paid. But thats just my preferences.

I can pass this hand (not with QT though) range is prob J8s 67s 78s etc, two pictures, K9+, QT+

I can pass my blinds too, wait for unopened once they have gone through and dont even look or a monster - whichever comes first..

^^^^^^^^

That.

Btw, if only three players get paid - then the fact that we are at a final table is irrelevant. "I made the final table". "I finished in the top third of the field" = "I LOST".

In order to win we need to get the chips in and get doubled up. For the squemish, when in a situation where you need to put it in with any two don't look at your cards. Just lift them up off the felt and pretend to look at them!

And finally, if I had my way, tournaments would only pay the top 5% max.
