Poker Strategy for Tournament Tonight?

Question

I have been playing Texas Holdem for a very long time and I know the basics very well. Im in a $50 buy in tournament tonight and I was wondering what a good strategy might be. I think the max ammount of players is 30.

Answer 1

The strategy will be determined by the number of starting chips, size of the blinds, and the speed the blinds increase.  There are a lot of other factors too, but in the absence of any other information I'd start with that.

But as a general rule hang back for the first couple of blind levels only playing premium hands.  Once you've established a tight image get more aggressive and bluff and steal a little more, in the later blind levels.
