On average how many hands do you wait to act on the tables?

I usually play with any hand if it's low blinds but if the blinds increase in level then I choose the best pair to enter and how do you act at the tables? Conservative or Luck Seeker?

At a new table with no history, I'll play a tad tighter. Definitely not playing any hand and not looking to get lucky early. There are enough land mines going deep in a MTT.

Hi!

Depending on the type of players, how they behave (if cautious, I open wider and vice versa), the depth of the stack is also important, if I'm the biggest at the table, I open almost everything.
By default, I think we should start more aggressively.

On the beginning of tournaments, when bb is small, trying to play most of the hands. In later stage of tournaments mostly play like a pro with high cards or pairs but sometimes play even a small hands hoping for luck.

It varies. Early in a tournament when the blinds are low I will play a wider range, but once the blinds have risen I will wait for premium hands.

Patience and waiting for a good hand is the only way sometimes, unfortunately sometimes even patience and waiting does not bear fruit, but sometimes only daring and choosing the fish keeps you in the table until the ill-fated dealer changes;)

if I play small blinds often if the blind limits are high I play less often with a strong hand, and it depends on my opponents if they are passive, then I take them immediately with a big bet

Of course, we need to study the players first. But if you get AA, you should go straight to battle.:):):)

Usually it matters if I have the blind or what cards I have.

I think the answer to most any poker question is "it depends".... depends on my stack, position, the players and how they play, the cards, lots of things

here it will depend on whether I have a good card, I will definitely not play with bad cards, especially when the high blades are already
