I normally flat call early in a tourney, and just happily fold it to a big raise. Why get involved that early against god only knows what? I've found that early on you just can't push the fish around, and pushing hard with something like AQ just sets you up to get killed by some massive reraise you have to lay down, or someone lurking in the weeds with a big pocket pair. *If* I have a comfortable read on the table I might put in a fairly small raise just to get out people playing total crap, so when Q83 rainbow flops I can play it pretty comfortably.
