Wow that's a bundle of questions... let me see if I can answer what I can [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But what if you are in like a big buy in tourney and a super AG just moved to your table and started to be the table captain? How is your play affected currently when you have no info on this super AG?

Generally I wont get myself involved unless I'm 90%-100% sure what type of player he/she is. This means sticking to your premium hands until you can get an good read on this seemingly LAG. For me it only takes an orb, two at the most to get a solid read on someone. Of course, they surprize you sometimes, but mostly you can get an accurate read within that amount of time.

Are you looking to defend your stack precariously? Are you looking only to play really strong hands if this super AG has entered the pot infront of you? Are you reraising immediately with your strong hands preflop if the super super AG has came in front of you?

Usually I like to play strong against *AG* players. If they're LAG it's even better. Most of the time they aren't folding preflop and if they hit any of the flop. I don't try to get too tricky, but that's just me personally.

Maybe a better question to ask right now is how are you playing if you are in early in a tournament and a super AG just got moved to your table? Are you looking to get in there and take his chips or just hope he doesn't get involved in any pots you are in?

In the early stages your main goals in MTTs should be a) to survive b) to gain as many chips as you can. This means you're taking chances against *L/AG* players. You have a good hand don't be afraid to put you chips in against a LAG. These are the players that build your stack and allow you to move far into the tournament with a comfortable chip stack.
