You should play the first hand just like all the others: calmly and wisely.

If we talk about MTT, then I play an open raise of 2-2.5bb, if there were openings before me, then through a raise or a squeeze, depending on the situation

It depends on the stack depth.

It’s depends of the position and information about the opponents, if you have this I think you found the best way to earn chips.

If I take AA or KK it's ALL in. Other hands I raise a little to see the table if I hit I keep raising.

It depends on what you mean by the words good hand. Kings or ladies? So they are weaker than a pair of pocket aces. Wait for AA go all-in and get ready to leave the tournament after losing a set of deuces. Because by the time you get a "good hand" your stack may be the smallest and you'll be covered with any two cards. Good luck!

I open raise 3 BB. Otherwise, if there is already a raise before, I call or I 3-bet it, depends on the strength of my hand.

If you have a premium hand, you should play very aggressively and try not to let players in different positions enter with a 4-5 discount.

So bluff, it's that easy, there's no way to complain.

I believe that the first hand is no different from all other good hands. Therefore, I play the first hand as usual all hands.

I play the first hand like all the other hands on the table, my hands do not differ like the first hand and the last hand for me I always try to play like I would with any other hand in order not to give out your strong arms and weak hands, you need to play the same way if you play strong hands aggressively and weak hands passively it's easy to notice

Pre-flop never.
Flop, very rarely.
Turn and river, yes, it will depend on how the moves happen, but it is still difficult to fold with AA.

If sitting down at a table for the first time then I want to see a few hands to see who is mixing it up, who is folding and who is a clown. Just take it easy in the beginning because I would play for more then a few hours, like, I bought a cooler and food and drinks if anyone is hungry, lol. No need to rush because we are going to be here awhile!!
