What is the range of the starting stacks? What is the average and what is the mean? I've been playing tournaments like this for a number of years and I've come ohhh soooo close with 2nds & 3rds etc. Since you should know most of the people you play against, you can usually map out who you can attack early for their stacks and who you want to avoid early. With that many BB to start, you can afford to play some suited connectors and low pairs cheaply from late position when you know you won't get raised lightly. The only place worth finishing in these is 1st so don't be afraid to take some risks to get there.
