Default (near) winner take all sngs\'

I play a lot of Party sngs' (at $10) with good results so far. I now plan on playing the big Saturday and Sunday tournaments (the $200 NLHE), entering by way of the one-table satelites. The satelites pay a free big tourney entry for 1st and your satelite entry back for 2nd. So basically winner-take-all. I've read that with such a payout schedule, one should play as if it was a live game, that is, fairly aggressive, take chips whenever you can, not the super-tight early normally played in tourneys.

My point is, I don't buy that. I think you still need to survive to the final 5 or so before making your move. Maybe my theory is only true in the low buy-in, maniac-rich environment provided by Party. What do ya'll think?
