Its the only tournament from the hot/bigs that I can play, I have around 300 buy ins. the problem I see is that I find it difficult to double up when I'm deep and bigstack. I always reach the 2nd rest being short. is that something to worry about? also, I have trouble takibg value from AA and KK. If I play it normally I feel I don't take all the value from them. I see there are lots of bad players, so would it be better to push those hands preflop and hope to get called by a bingo?

These games are super soft, you can just stick to a solid ABC game and double up pretty quickly. Everyone just plays so bad, you certainly don't need to do anything special, just play your cards and position and profit :)

Do you mean to play TAG game ? I do not agree , Conversely, I would advise play LAG game, play lose preflop game - 22 + / AJ + all suited connectors 65s +, ( in MP we can start play AT+/ KT/ QT+/JT+ and all gap connectors) because while the blinds are not grown we need increased stack, what to comfortably play push fold, when start all shove stack.( play many bad players at the beginning which can to pay by our hands) . I'm talking about turbo MTT.

No, I mean you don't need to do anything that deviates from a solid game in a 50c MTT because people are just playing their cards, have no idea about ranges or positions. There's no need to get creative or do anything that's not really classed as "standard" in these games.

Playing low/middle pocket pairs for set mining is of course fine and opening in position with hands like like suited connectors, broadways etc is fine and normal. I don't agree at all playing to loose a game pre flop in the early stages of tournaments though and especially in a turbo format. You will very likely lose more chips in the long run as opposed to gaining.

These games are filled with fish looking to build a bankroll for a small price. You can get away with playing pretty tight early on then when the antes come in looking to play positional poker somewhat ABC then when you're in the money look to apply pressure to people who are trying to ladder!

start playing very tight in the beginning because those tourneys are donkfest, when the blinds increase, many of those players will be gone, by that time blinds are going to be very high, so you will be relying on luck to get deep on those tourneys. it just a matter of luck to reach a good price position, however with some luck, and playing tight those tourneys can be very profitable over the long run.
