First Live Tourney this Saturday

[ImMrFish]

This saturday, our local poker group is hosting a approx. 100 person $50 buy in MTT. My live play experience consists of plenty of home games, limit ring games in vegas, and a few 18 person tournments at smaller card rooms. This will be my first time ever playing in a larger tournament live, so I'm looking for any advice you guys might have to offer.

Blind structure for this event looks really great, with 5,000 starting chips & 45 minute levels. BB for the first level is $25, so its going to be a LONG tourney with plenty of real poker to be played.

Most of the competition will be very soft, although there are some VERY GOOD local players (like the guy who won the WCOOP limit event this year).

As for me, I know how to play tournament poker (at least I like to think I do), so I'm really looking for NOOB advice thats relevant to playing live. Any and all advice welcome--fold preflop!

Pay attention to the players at your table. The fish will give off plenty of tells.
Take snacks to the table with you so you don't have to be wondering around a lot. Drink fluids to keep up to par, but don't drink too much. I did this once and had to make many bathroom runs and almost missed out on hands.
