    Optimal play ideas, for this new stars tourney?

    blinds stay the same, only the antes go up.

    ok obv since blinds are 5 and 5 the whole way.

    just thinking since flops early and often for as cheap as possible works well.

    Any other ideas.

    if the ante is 5/5 the whole way, does that mean for example i have 100K in chips when the ante is 300 i can raise to 15 chips?

    my friend NotMikeMcD played one tonite and finished 40th. When the antes started to get bigger he would raise marginal hands about 1/2 to 2/3 of the pot and with strong holdings about a 1/4 of the pot...Not that hard imo...I liked his strategy fwiw
