Basic MTT Strategy

[Hoopster81]

(Tried searching first, but found nothing relevent)

Hey all,

I am a NL cash game player, and my girlfriend has started playing large (300-500 player) MTT's while I grind away on the ring games. She used to play ring games as well, and I am afraid this has poorly affected her tournament play.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a thread or webpage that could give some basic advice for playing MTT's. Specifically, how to play for a high finish as opposed to playing conservatively to just sqeak into the money (which is what the ring-game mentality seems to create).

Thanks in advance.
