Ok, I'm at a local tournament. The blinds start at 25/50 and increase every 20 minutes. You start with 2500T dollars. Is this really enough time to sit and wait for good hands or should I start pushing with any two cards? Is it better to wait for a spot to double up with a strong hand and possibly blind out of a tourney? Or do I just go for the gusto and maybe piss off a few people?

This is enough time and high enough M to play smart poker. You have at least an hour before the blinds are anywhere near significant to the starting stack.

You have plenty of time to play normal poker.
So it costs $75 per round, giving you and M of just over 33. (2500/75=33.3)
You shouldn't start to get nervous until you have an M of around 10.
And when your M is around 5 or 6 THEN you're looking to shove.
