    Default Starting hand requirements once u have doubled up

    i normally play uber tight eo, folding almost everything, to conserve my stack for later.

    If i have doubled up early, should i start lowering my in postion?

    this is with reference to 10 hands per level or the 20 hands per level games

    If I double up early I still stay conservative until the blinds hit 100 (if we all started with 1000) or 150 (if we all started with 1500). MAYBE when it hits 50 I might start stealing if I feel it's a particularly weak table.

    Don't try to steal blinds when they aren't worth stealing. As a big stack early on when the blinds still don't matter, if someone is giving you action, they probably have it.

    Don't fall for the trap of thinking just because you have more chips you can play more hands. You're almost always an underdog in every hand when you play weaker cards at a full table with the blinds low.

    lol wasnt asking whether to steal blinds at lvl 2

    and wasnt really taling about playing weak hands either. Was asking wether to open my range (which is ultra tight at the beginning) more
    eg, play AJo on the cutoff with three limpers say. (where i would normally fold this in an instant)

    AJ in that spot is good for a nice solid raise.
