I failed to reply to this, for whatever reason.
I'd say just be on the conservative side with the tethering to not get a notice from CricKet. I've tethered on 4 devices so far (ZTE Open, ZTE Open C, Mozilla Flame, L640) and they've yet to bother me. Though to be fair, the sum total of my tethered data consumption across those devices is likely less than 2gb, and this is over the course of two years.
I really only ever use it in emergency situations (field work) where I can not get data access for my equipment other than through my phone, so I'm generally not moving much data, and generally only connected to a handful of devices at once.
Your mileage will vary, of course, but I don't think you have much to worry about unless you use your phone in place of your home router and start a multi-screen NetFlix streaming party with the whole block.
