hi all , very good advice from everyone, I haven't played that mtt, but have had others with deep stacks early on, they are indeed tricky to play, because at some level you get tempted to play the first few levels with a cash game range, and then later on as blinds get bigger, revert back to your usual mtt ranges ,
the main advice I could give is dont get sold on any hand early on, perhaps maybe AA , but even then you can proceed with caution and try to see a flop , this will allow you to temper variance a bit and fold in a lot of these spots for a cheap price.
getting pot committed in the first couple of hours (not levels lol) can be a disaster, especially with one or two pair hands, I mention hours because in the games I have gone deep in, I start measuring them in hours, and pace my stack and ranges accordingly, some of these need 8hrs+ , so it's a marathon , you can't win in the first few hours, but you can lose, so look at the whole length of the game, don't stress too much about stack sizes ( I've had so many where I've had so few chips it's crazy, but it grows, and grows until after 5hrs+ I even look back and wonder at the few chips I had early on)
