Level of aggression for level 1 and 2 for PP 30+3?

The simple answer is post some hands. You could be playing too tight but it is likely that you are bleeding off chips with weaker hands.

Might be a touch too tight, or not defending blinds well enough. Normally I find myself glad I wasn't involved in a hand, but having a maniac with over 2k in chips at level 2 sometimes makes things tougher than they should be.

It's tough to be too tight in the first two levels, if you play the general 2+2 way. That's not to say you should be passing up +EV situations just to "wait it out", but the fact that you even talk about defending your blinds and mixing it up seem to indicate that you're playing too loose.

Dont wait for all the fish to leave the pond before you drop your pole in the water. Tight is right but try to limp with position when ever possible. J9 or 68 can flop a monster if your able to see the flop and is easily dumped when they dont. The last three 30-3's I've played, I have made 3x more in the first three levels than in later levels. Everyone is trying to steal when the blinds are up in later rounds so it gets harder to see those cheap sneaky draws. In my last tourney J9o on a 10,8 Q flop got three callers on a all in push (level 1) from one off the button. Just dont take it to extreems so you wont bleed out.

i dont like playing J9o from the CO at all. JTs, definitely, off suit, i guess. But I think one gaps are getting to be a littel too loose.
