5th hand. My question is what do we do in these 1$ tourneys where I mainly play? What I tend to do is get it in with AK and QQ+, sometimes even JJ. The point is to start building a stack early with strong holdings, where people shove anything you can imagine: pocket pairs (where we flip), Ax+, KT+, QT+ and in general all kind of crazy holdings.
