I ususally play fast early in tournaments because I want to get some chips or GTFO.

Good points...I guess the optimal strategy is the opposite of what your opponents are following... Mark’s last blog post..Online poker tournament statistics: player exit percentage

I like where you are coming from when you say to play tight early on, but in the deeper stack big buyin tournaments I do this a lot differently. There is more room to maneuver and you can abuse players a little bit better when you are playing many hands. I think if you come into any of these tournaments with a set strategy, you are lining yourself up to miss out on opportunities to take advantage of people that play bad.
