Asking what kind of hands to play in a tourney is asking for an easy answer to a complex game. Everyone has their own strategy. No one is right... No one is wrong. I for instance like to play every hand towards the beginning because it won't cost me too much.

Imagine being delt 2 7 off and folding when it would have just cost you 30 of your chips to stay... and the flop comes 2 7 7. And a guy goes allin bluffing. You just missed a great potential to hike up your stack real early.

Another view would be that doubling up so early will not effect the end outcome of the tourney. These people would argue that having the most chips so early won't really achieve anything. How many times have you seen someone jump from 1500 chips to 10-20k chips within the first 20 minutes of the tourney? Do you really think these individuals will win? Most of them will have a good finishing spot... but ive never seen any of them reach the money.

Now consider the end of a tournament. Some people say to play tight. But isn't that what everyone is doing at this point? You should go alittle crazy here. Raise, All-in's, Check-Raise, Reraise. Scare 'em. Learn to target who. Those individuals who you can almost feel their assholes tighten with your aggressive style. But at the same time feel out those who think they figured you out... then offer them up something else to confuse them.

Whew... forgot what I was talking about :)
