Default Opportunity knocks

I think the early rounds in huge tourneys is really about waiting for an opportunity. My goal is to win enough with premium hands to enable me limp in with Ax suited or mid-connectors. And when the perfect flops hits, I'm poised to double up, which is a neccesity to be in the running with a field that large.

Default

In a tourney like this I wouldn't play tight quite that long (until 150 left). But I think it is a good idea to play tight for the earlier part. Especially in freerolls, when a good part of the field are just terrible players who will knock themselves out fairly quickly. Until the fish are cleared out don't bet a hand unless you're pretty sure you will win the pot, and don't take any unnecessary stupid risks. In general accumulate some chips when you can, but save yourself for when the competition gets at least to a reasonable level.
