I disagree, you should bet hard and give them incorrect odds to call. It doesn't matter how many games/day you play, luck doesn't reset every day. Especially in a tournament, if you've flopped a monster but there's a draw that beats the monster, bet it hard. The other question is are you calling down after the draw hits? If you do this you're giving them correct implied odds. They probably don't realize it, they just see that they have 4 to a suit and call but without realizing it they may be making the correct play.

This is dead on. Early on wait for monsters, bet them hard preflop (5x or 6x will sometimes get multiple callers at those levels, you want to try to isolate to 1 or possibly 2 callers, depending on the hand), and then assuming the flop isn't super ugly (3 of one card, 3 to a straight all suited, etc.) you bet the flop hard. Later on you can loosen up but that's the thing with tournaments. If you are risking all your chips with a slight edge more often than not one of the times you do it in a tournament you'll lose. That's where tournaments differ from cash games. In a cash game if you lose your stack, you just reload, in a non-rebuy tournament, you're out.
