The main strategy you should use is do not put all your chips in until your sure if possible or huge favorite nut hand if possible depends on your stack shortstack push AJ medium pair I view tournament success as how many times I was all in risking elimination and the hands and stack I had if you reduce amount of times you risk elimination with mediocre hands when you have a decent stack do not be afraid to fold medium pairs JJ AQ ect and make the money if blinds not affecting you too much and shorter stacks about on the bubble good luck

There are many really good books on the strategy of playing in the three stages of a tournament.
Dan Harrington's Poker books are one example of these.
You also may find some real good articles online should you wish to look.

Early in the game I try wait out for premium hands and not be too aggressive with lesser hands.


Middle stage same strategy however if you have more chips you can splash with suited connectors or QJ or semi connector i.e 10 and 8.


Bubble stage, be aggressive with hands from prior stages but hold off if someone comes over the top all-in.

I do not have a tactic in the first hands, the first four hands are actually to identify my opponents a little.
I am careful to become stronger little by little, whenever a good opportunity appears I force myself a little further.
Now if you are near the bubble and gather conditions and stack I will play very aggressive to keep me in the game.

It's the part just before you're in the money. For example if 100 people get paid in the tournament, the bubble would begin when there are around 120 people left and finish once there are 100 people left.
