But the thing to keep in mind especially early, is to not get involved in pots that are bigger than they need to be, unless u are sure you have the best of it.
Late in the tournament a simple blind and ante steal from the button can earn you more chips then doubling up in the first round, calling an all in bet Even in a normal sized MTT say you start 1500 chips, getting to 4500 first (say by going all in 2x with KK, its still a gamble) isnt going to mean too much when people are in the 150,000's once it gets down to 40 or so players. You are eventually going to be stealing 4500 chips with a button raise stealing the SB, BB and the antes.
Thats why I believe you should take much less risks early and many more later
