I disagree almost completly with this post.

In a MTT you WANT to play defensive early on to survive. Taking risks early on is going to get you burned, and it will get you eliminated.

What you want to do in a MTT is build you chip stack slowly without taking many risks until your in a position late in the tournament where you can change gears and become the agressor. You want to build you image up as a tight weak player, and then vary it as you go later.

Remeber, the longer you last the better chance you have at cashing, whcih is what its all about.

Everyone on this forum is always going for the final table. This is a dumb move. You want to go for the bubble, and have enough chips to make a push for the final table.

Everyone on this forums seems to thinkits final table or die trying, and thats the only way to play a MTT. This is not the right way to approch a MTT.
