Low Pts. Buy-in Satellites

How do you guys typically play these?
I find them really hard to adjust to. It seems like
the play tight early strategy doesn't work very well,
since the blinds are up every five minutes.
Also there's no bubble, so there's no point to steal chips really.
Plus there are just so many donks out there, and
the play in general is so aggressive.

I'm not sure how I should be playing these.

I play them like i was playing in a large open freeroll,the crowds and play have always seemed very similar with the exception that the donk who goes all-in in the free roll cant rebuy like he can in the points sat...so just play tight and keep an eye on the top ten places to let you know if using an add-on would be a good ideas or not...i hope this helps.

It seems like if I play tight, by the time I reach the final table, I almost always have a below average stack since there's no chance to stack up on the bubble. Should I be jamming my good hands a lot lot more on these satellites?
