OK, so there seems to be two schools of thought when it comes to strategy early in tourneys:1. Accept some additional risk and try to build a big chip stack you can use to pound players later. I call this going for the win.2. Play really tight and try to build your chip stack slowly. I call this going for the money.Each one has advantages and disadvantages. Higher risk early means more chips and a better shot at a win, but at the risk of busting out early. Going for the money often results in making the money, and is therefor more consistently profitable, but often times you don't have enough chips to really make a run for the title.What does everyone else think?
