I play a lot of knock out poker cash tournaments like 1.10 or 3.30 both holdem and Omaha.
how do you think should one progress in the tournament?
starting chips of 3000.

I believe the strategy isn't a lot different from regular MTT strategy

Probably the only differences are that sometimes you should play a bit more speculative hands (in situations that a player is all-in and you get some pot odds) and your shoving range with 10BB or less should probably be a little bit tighter (because you'll probably get more callers)

Try to observe which players are trying too hard for knockouts with weak holdings. Make sure to play back at them when you're strong.

I've played several on pokerstars with starting chips of 5000, and you find many players who go all in right at the beginning of the tournament with any 2 suited cards or any hand with weak aces. When I play I try to play tighter at the beginning and when I accumulate more chips I try to loosen up more.

Start slow, picking better hands and watch those who like to go all-in on many hands. Ideally, aggression should increase as the stages of the tournament progress.

Yes, you need to re-enter if the prize pool is 100 or 1000 times higher than your entry, then it will be profitable and if you have more than 25bb
