Re: NL tournament questions
If you can limp in with drawing hands(low pocket pairs suited connetors) early, then do so, as you hope to get a cheap chance to hit and get a big pot.
Nothing risky early on at all. Remember, you can't win the tournament now, but you surely can lose it. Remember that no chip leader after Day 1 of the WSOP has ever even made a final table...goes to show you how meaningless early results truly are.
Later on...aggressive, but back off if your opponent shows agression back unless you have a very good hand. For an example of this: If you have J-Qs in LP, I would consider a 3x BB raise to try to steal the blinds. However, if someone comes over the top for a significant amount, you must lay it down. Two common mistakes are to not be aggressive often enough if nobody has made a play at the pot and to be too aggressive when somebody has shown strength.
