I once heard Phil Hellmuth say, "It's okay, they chip and chip at me, then I kachunk!"
I started trying to think, "I wonder how and why he does this strategy." It seems that if you are opening wider in the beginning of the tournament when stacks are deep, it sets up an image that you are capable of being played at.
I think the "limping is not ever good" philosophy was actually false. Limping first to act looks strong, and if you are doing it with SUITED CONNECTORS, you are giving yourself more opportunities to build a stack, see more flops, and not get 3-bet out of a hand that plays well post flop. Think of it like chess. There are pawns and there are queens and kings.
Keep the pots small tho. And also, when blinds start to get more significant, TIGHTEN UP. This is the key part to this strategy and it will win you tournaments. The other players may not think to do this and just want to get involved too much later on in the tourney, thus making it easy to get a double up with a decent hand, maybe AJ+.
What are your thoughts? Are you going to try this fun strategy and see if you can make it your own? I play a lot of card games, and strategy is key. Just playing ABC poker all the time will get you nowhere.
I wish you the best of luck.
PS Don't be afraid to take stabs at flops!
