Re: Alter your play for donks - early game?

If you're at a LP table, what do you think about goosing the pot 2 or 3BB (very early tourney) if you're going to limp anyway?

Personally, I'm not raising with KQs, QJs, or JTs early in tournaments. If you get called you have to be worried about dominating hands. If you don't get called, the blinds aren't much of a prize.
I like to keep the pots small until I have a strong hand and then try to get as many of my opponents chips as possible. I only want to make the pot big pre-flop when I have big starting hands like AA/KK.
Later, when the blinds are big and no one has entered the pot ahead of me, I'll raise the KQs/QJs/JTs and hopefully just take down the blinds.
