Deepstack early in a tourney; how do you play it?

[The_Bankroll]

9 minutes into a stars 180, I get QQ, and end up with a 4500 chipstack in the first level. so how do play here? you think it's better to start being a little more aggro and pick up more pots, or play tight and just protect my chipstack, (basically playing the same I always do). (note: this tournament is going on right now (midnight EST 11/13) so any quick replies are appreciated

When this happens to me, I don't change anything. I just play it like I normally would and I'm happy I can sit around and wait for good hands, and I'm not so wary of pushing all in PF with AK versus a normal stack.

However, I know some people would start bullying people around and becoming very active in many pots. While I don't prefer this style, I know it can be successful for some players.

I would just recommend to play your game. But realize you can gambool a bit more. (But don't overdo it).

When I get this kind of stack early I tend to be a bit more patient, and sit back like a rock, looking for opportunites rather than start bully people around, it's still early a lot can happen, protect that damn stack!
