early stages against total idiots

also, seriously try playing in more expensive tournaments where there are less idiots. Seriously, you're gonna have more idiots in $5 rebuys than in $20 tourneys. just something to keep in mind

This is some of the worst advice I hear people give. If you cannot beat a certain buy in level of poker that don't move up!! It's true your variance will be higher when the donk level is higher, but your ROI should be much higher at those lower levels. And face it, if you can't make money off bad poker players, you're truly kidding yourself if you expect to make money off good ones.

Could it be that you're simply part of the party?
K J isn't exactly a big hand in late middle position.
throw it out and wait for another situation.

A J in early position, early in a tournament, at a full table? I'd throw it out at most tables (raise at tighter tables), and throw it out at almost all tables in low buy in, early stage tournaments. Exception....when you're rushing.
