As a novice in tournaments (especially rebuys) I find the small ball approach Negreanu advocates to be difficult as you get later on a tourney (post bubble lets say). Seems like everybody just shoves at that point but of course I am playing mostly $5 and under tourneys.
The strategy I tend to employ more closely resembles in certain respects the "Kill Phil" theory of avoiding difficult post-flop decisions, -- Quote from book-- thereby giving novice players a means "to neutralize the edge enjoyed by more experienced opponents."
Does anybody who uses small ball have starting hand guidelines and advice about bet-sizing when raising before the flop post bubble (lets just assume your stack is in the middle of the remaining players and your table is generally passive but the chip leader is to your left). Also assume that you have about 25x the BB as a starting stack and your goal is not to move up in the $ but to win the whole thing?
