The short version is, that the early stage of a tournament is pretty much the same as a cash game. So just play hand for hand and dont confuse yourself with thinking about "the big picture". Cash game training is usefull, because you often play with a deeper stack. So rather than ask this question, ask questions like "how do I play multiway pots" or "how do I play monotone boards".
