Newbie Is it better to survive or accumulate chips early?

[Bawse]

I strongly believe that early in tournaments, you should be patient, wait for strong hands and focus on extracting maximum value from weaker players.

Tournaments are a marathon, not a sprint. You need to be prepared to play for hours, and a lot can change over that time. There’s no need to force the action early when there are plenty of opportunities later.

I always play to win while aiming to make smart, disciplined decisions. That said, I like to mix things up occasionally to stay unpredictable.

Thoughts?
