one thing that i had read about over and over and never used myself was trying to double up early

early on alot of people (meaning the bad players) are just giving their chips away.  they usually are all gone by the break

for this reason, i will now play alot more pots early (when it is cheap) and try to stack a donk when i catch a good hand

this doesnt mean to shove everything or get into marginal situations with Arags, but to get into some pots with hands that i normally might fold later in the tourneys (10jos, lower pocket pairs with a raise in front of me or oop)

your goal in any tourney is survival, but you also should be playing to win.  alot of people just want to survive until they get into the money, then they shove the next hand

knowing that, you can usually start to loosen up and steal alot more, when it is getting closer to the bubble

if you really want to have good success, you have to play without fear
this doesnt mean to get your money in bad, but none of the great tourney players out there are afraid to go out on the bubble either

when it gets to the point where most people are either shoving or folding, your best bet is to already have a big enough stack to be able to lose a hand or two without busting
rest assured that if you are the shortstack even if you wait for monsters, eventually the bigstacks will call your allins and they will bust you
