So... now what? Do I continue playing my normal tightish game until blinds go up so I can bully preflop? Do I start looking for more opportunities to play mediocre hands as I'm not risking my tourney even if I go allin? This is what I remember doing when this happened in the 20s and 30s, and I believe I usually lost most of my chiplead doing exactly that.

I'm leaning towards just playing like I usually do, at least up til the blinds rise. It feels like it gotta be sub-optimal poker though.
