Tournament strategies

I think we will all agree that tournament play are totally different from normal play, in that there are more luck involved. But surely there is still strategy involved. With tournament play. What strategy are you using?

I play it super tight in the beginning and only play on AA, AK, KK, QQ and JJ. I will fold immidiately after the flop has been dealt and there is a chance of a straight or a flush and it is not in my hand. I will then relax a bit more as the players at the table goes down from 10 to 7 or lower. Do you have a strategy that works for you?

I mostly play tight in the beginning of the Tourney, then I get a little more agressive to get some more chips to afford the blinds later and be able to kick some weaker players out of the game wothout risking to go all in
Normally I play AA, KK, then higher cards of the same suit and usually J10,...
later in the game I vary the cards to irritate other players...
This way I made it to the 14th in a freeroll

I play sort of loose in the beginning, tight in the middle and loose at the end. You can rack up a lot of chips being aggressive but not playing stupid in the early parts.

I play loose in the beginning and then tighten up as the blinds get bigger.
