I was talking with another member, and this discussion came up. I think if you can lure a player to calling with the worst hand, you should always try to get the most value. My mindset is always play to win, outcome of hands don't matter to me, if I'm all in with a dominating hand.
Ideally you...

Variance in tournaments can be overwhelming for a lot of players. Sometimes you won't get a deep run/good score after several buy-ins. I only play tournaments, but I also like sit and go's if there's enough traffic on the site to play them.
Do you pay for your buy-ins in tournaments using...
A lot of players if they lose a bunch of chips, they give up. Keep battling. I've come back from a lot of tournaments where I thought I was done for, grind it out. If you don't focus on results, this won't affect your play. You won't always win, but you'll win more if you keep grinding. If you...
Personally, I prefer tournaments because you can lose your bankroll faster, when you go broke, and lose all your chips in a tournament, it only costs you your buy-in. It's easier to set limits in tournaments for me. However, you can build your bankroll faster in cash games, unless you win a big...
If you can handle the swings in cash games, it can be a good way to earn buy-ins for your tournaments.
Does anyone play cash games while they grind tournaments online?
Do you play more poker when you win more? Do you take breaks after a nice win?
What's your routine after a good score in tournaments?
I get more motivated after a nice run/win, and I usually play a couple tourneys after a nice score to see if I can continue my run good.
I keep track of my games for the day as I play. I don't write down my tournament buy-ins, but i usually only play a few games per day, so it's pretty easy to keep track.
Do you keep track of your tournaments or daily buy-ins? Do you use any sites that help you track your stats?
Most sites online nowadays have faster blinds which encourages players to make moves faster.
How important is tournament selection? Are the hyper turbo tournaments beatable long term?
Heads up in tourneys are usually a toss up on who gets the win, because blinds are usually high, and chips are likely to meet in the middle sooner rather than later.
How do you play heads up in tournaments? Are you aggressive? Do you go into all in or fold mode?
Any other thoughts?

I usually get my chips/money all in during favorable situations(winning percentage), after that it's out of my hands. Sometimes, I...
Cash games and tournaments are different ways to play poker. Which one of them is a better play for you whenever you're ready to play poker? Do you like to specialise in playing either cash games or tournaments? Maybe you're into playing both of them but one at a time?
It's vital to have a good short stack game when playing tournaments, especially online.
I regularly join online MTT's at the last minute of late registration, and when you join that late you're usually starting with a short stack.
I look for a certain range of hands, and a good opportunity to...
The need to improve on my game is always there which is why I don't slow down when it comes to following good YouTube vloggers for live tournaments. Mariano and Ryan Depaulo have been my favourite guys so far but I'm interested in following more who are very good in what they do.
Do you have...
Before I go deep into this article. I do win more than I lose in tournaments. I often cash in most tournaments that I play, and when I do cash I usually bust early, or end up near the end.
If you're new to poker I guarantee this article will improve your game, and help you become a winning...
If you asked me this question a few months ago. I would probably say, yes.
I had runs where all my money was on the line, and usually when I'm nervous it brings out the best in my game.
However, this year I've been focusing hard on bankroll management, and it's benefited my game tremendously...
