At what point during the first 3 or so levels is it okay to bet big? I found myself in a few of these tournamets waiting around for a big hand, and by the time the blinds were $50/$100, I was down to $1000 and feeling some pressure to do something.
I've learned from playing a bunch of these $6 SnGs that early, people will play just about anything can usually aren't intimidated by a big bet. Later, when my stack is down and I'm covered easily by 2-3 guys, they'll call my large bets and sketchy cards and outdraw me.
I know there is a equilibrium somewhere, but through these 13 tournaments, it seemed with only 2-3 exceptions if I waited, my stack shrank slowly and eventually had to push and lose and if I bet some hands early - even the hands that you should bet - I lost.
