I am playing in a tourney tonight where the winner gets a 5 day cruise, and the rest of the players get booby prizes.
I could care less whether I got a booby prize or was the first one out, so to me it is winner take all.
How would you approach this kind of tourney.
I expect over 100 people in it, but probably not over 250.
I assume getting a big stack and pushing some marginal edges early on would be important, as would getting in there with the crazies early on and trying to get their chips.
I also assume that at the final table survival then becomes irrelevent (which is vastly different that "regular" tournies, and you should always push it here as well...
Is this a situation where pedal-to-the-metal poker is the law?
