 PS 45 seat $6.50 turbo
I'm loving these and I'm doing very well in this 45 seat turbo format. A tight / agg. style often gets you very deep, then you can kick around a bit.
I usually play loose for cheap flops @ the very beginning, then hunker down. If I'm not doubled by the 100/200 blinds I start mixing it up and juicing pots (3xBB) and then stealing them, to make up for the piddly blinds.
About 12 people left is around bubble fear time (7th place pays) and you can start making moves on the high blinds. Be wary of moving against the biggest stack. If he's deep stacked at this point it means he's not afraid to get 'em in the middle, but you have to not be afraid also.
Hype aggro is the ONLY way to survive the final table. One or two hands makes the difference between 4th and 1st place.
With a large number of places paid, it's easy to take advantage of the weaknesses of the "I'm happy with being in the money" crowd.
When in doubt, push it out. 1st doesn't come to those without some risk-taking gusto.
This guy was pushing hard, but sometimes you need to say "fuck it"

This format is great because getting ITM is almost no sweat because of the way people eat each other alive. Take your share of bite bites to enjoy a nice 1/2/3 finish and enjoy the fishy play of a low-buy in s&g. You will get your share of bad beats, but wheeeeee you'll serve them too if your appling the right amount of risk vs reward.
