Developing a strong game preflop can be vital to being a winning tourney player. Patience is key, and avoid coinflips. Sometimes I like to be the aggressor with small pairs, but I'm not a fan of calling all-in preflop. I rather shove all-in, and have a chance of the players folding. I also think you should wait for premium hands, and practice raising the same amount preflop, so your opponents don't pickup on your betting patterns. Adapt to the players around you, and don't overplay your strong hands. New players tend to get excited when they get a hand like AA, it's important to extract value from your opponents. Keep practicing, and working on your skills. Most importantly TRUST THE PROCESS.
