Actually in these low or no buyin events that attract that many people, you have to take some chances early. And from a time-is-money prespective, you want to take risks.

I've played in some $2-3 tourneys on Stars and early on I have two moves: fold or all-in. Kinda like Sklansky's System to some degree. I literally have the "sit out" button clicked and half pay attention, only unclicking it when I see a pair or two big cards. Then I basically go all-in.

Ok, simplifiying and exaggreating a little, but I want to double through or bust very early for my whole $2 investment. Last thing I want is to struggle with a tiny stack only to come short of the money. That's no fun. So that would make me one of the "all in idiots" [img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] It's just not worth it in these small buyin events if I can't build a nice stack early. So bust out or double up, asap.
