Your best tournament stratagy

[freeringo]

I 100%......... do not know if i agree or not.

The way to win and final table MTTs consistantly is to obtain a bigger stack early. This is called "chipping up".

Ringo here has many valid points, but is formenting his case around tourneys with fields of 30-100 players.

So basically i can advise the following -

1 - If your playing in a small field tourney or private game, use ringos advice all day long if you wish.
2 - Anything bigger, you should be losing early in a tournament alot more often. Just scraping into the money does you no good. If you do that 50% of the time and just cash in a low place, you will LOSE money in the long term. You need to get agressive early on to get a bigger stack thatll get you into the money (unless you lose a lot of hands quickly) and that gives you the platform to move forward and abuse bubbe situations, dominate tables, agressively blind down ower stacks e.t.c

Great advise Eejit for bigger games.
I forgot to mention that I rarely play in games with more than 100 players.
That's how I manage to keep a steadily increasing bank roll. Less hours and more rewards in small private games with added money.
