Why not just play according to the situation?  Call if you have the hand, the pot odds and the position to warrant a call.  Going into a tourney with a pre-baked scheme or strategy is not such a great idea.  Do you think other players are really going to notice and remember your initial looseness?  Take time to establish your table image.  But heck, if you want to take a stab on the very first hand - it's your game.  I just don't think it will make that much difference.

So you're willing to lose 20% of your chips on a meaningless play?   Early wins aren't that consequential since pots are much bigger later on.  But early losses can be cumulative.  You've lost that 20% in the first hand.  Those are chips you WON'T have later when you get the hand to take down two opponents - so that's a 40% loss.  Then you won't have those 40% chips the next time you're ready to bite into somebody's stack.

Your chips are your bullets.  Why waste them?

plus I agree with Razor.  I don't care where I start.  I'm going to be doing a lot of observing and note taking early on, not trying to win the tourny on the first hand.
