Don’t Overvalue Survival in a Tournament

If a 100 person tournament pays the top 10 people it does not matter if you come in 11th or 99th. You can’t just try to stick around because you don’t want to be out too early. Play to get all the chips. You must play to win as opposed to avoid losing. It’s no fun to be out in the first hour but it is a waste of time to just linger without going for the big win.
