I have read in "poker" books that in low-stakes tourneys to ease into playing and maybe folding a lot of hands the first hour or so! Iwas thinking that wouldn't you want to play more hands when the blinds are so low because it dioesn't cost a lot to see flops? I tried folding for the first hour and only play very strong hands,but after that I am sitting with a low chip stack and escalating blinds forcing me to play hands I usually wouldn't! I usually get knocked out before the bubble or right after it! In tourneys I see very few hands that I would consider playing- AA,KK,QQ.AK,AJ,AQ,mid to high pocket pairs.
I try to steal blinds when I see the opportunity arise!But most of the time I have a bully at the table and get out-betted(is that a word?).
I guess what I am getting at after rambling is-How do you get to latter stages of these tourneys? Do you need good cards or just play aggressive as hell and hope for the best?
I don't have examples, I was just looking for some general advice and strategy!
