Early on, there is a lot of loose play, so play solidly. I play quality hands, generally low hands. If I have AA or 346 suited or something, I like to jam on 3rd street. Sometimes 5 people will come along for 4 bets.

This is not true at a higher level. In the WCOOP stud/8 tournament, the play was pretty tight from the beginning.

Later on, it becomes more of an ante stealing game. Sometimes, if you are short stacked, you have pot odds to go allin with a marginal hand, particularly heads up. Sometimes you may have a decent sized stack and you have to play one hand for most of your chips.

The main thing is that a lot of tournaments go from much looser than ring to much tighter than ring.
