I would like to know if it is better to start more passive or more paying tournaments, because with more calls there are chances of getting the cards right on the flop.

You don't play passive in turbo tournaments . You must be aggressive, focused in the game, and carefull of the details.

no, the more you play a hand, the more likely you are to get busted and out of the tournament

You do not play passively when you play poker in any format--Even when we limp correctly or check correctly it is because it is the correct action-not because the correct action is to bet but we decide to check instead to be careful---
In turbos the point where we have to push thinner equites arrives faster than in regular speed tournies that is the only change we make and we do it by being aware of when we drop from 60bb to much shorter stacks-

The early phase of a turbo tournament is just the same as the early phase of one with regular speed blind intervals. The important is current stack sizes, not how soon the blinds will go up.

Assuming there is re-buy option and i actually have spare MTT ticket then obviously the only target at the start would be to get someone out at all costs ...

não, quanto mais você joga uma mão, maior a probabilidade de ser eliminado e fora do torneio
Thanks for the answer. I am in this doubt because I see many aggressive players at the beginning of tournaments and end up losing in a few hands when they don't get the double.

Good afternoon. When I play this type of format, try to double as soon as possible, otherwise the blinds will wipe out my stack. I try to be patient, but aggressiveness is necessary to be successful in these games.
Thanks for the answer. I have this doubt because I see many aggressive players at the start of tournaments and end up losing in a few hands when they don't get twice as much.

Thanks for the answer. I have this doubt because I see many aggressive players at the start of tournaments and end up losing in a few hands when they don't get twice as much. But aren't you in danger of going with a reasonable hand and taking crazy threets?

The initial phase of a turbo tournament is exactly the same as the initial phase of one with regular speed blind intervals. What matters is the current stack size, not when the blinds will go up.
But in faster tournaments we can't expect to make it to the top. So, we're more vulnerable to games that might not be good for raises.

no, the more you play a hand, the more likely you are to be eliminated and out of the tournament
I didn't quite understand your answer. Could you explain it better?
