quick answer needed...leaving in 5 minutes

Hi,

I am not much of a tournament player. I play limit holdem using the principals of SSHE. Today I am trying my luck at the Bike's Limit Hold Em (mini world series of poker) tournament.

Will playing according to SSHE be the right strategy and through what stage of the tournament. I am leaving here in a few minutes so if someone has a quick answer (if there is one) I would be most appreciative. Thanks.

Playing the SSHE style in a tourney will get you killed

Thanks. I've played a few a long time ago and played pretty straight forward "weak tightish" and did ok to a point. I never made a switch to being more aggressive and bleed chips though antes and being stolen from. I will post back if I have any luck. Thanks.

Early stages, SSHE will be fine. As the blinds become a significant % of your stack, you'll need to play a lot tighter and a lot more agressive, as you live and die with every pot you play.
