playing my first buy in tournament

On kind of a whim tonight, I signed up for a 2.75 entry jetset stud 8/b tournament.

Going very well for me thus far, I've hovered in the top 5 most of the tournament. Jetset just shut down for 5 minutes so I've got a bit of a break. 5 more until we reach the money, as long as I don't do anything stupid I should cash in.

But I am wondering what kind of strategies other people use in stud 8/b tournaments.

if its late in the tournament, raise every pot you enter...this will keep players from limping in...try to stick with hands with both a low and a high component, i also like to play 3 suited cards to begin with...anyway, you know the game well adaon, keep up the good work, and lets see a final table

Made it in the money as the chip leader of all things. I've been playing tight and it's paying off by letting me steal pots when I only had half of it.

10 left, I'm the chip leader.

me: 23.5k
2nd: 9.4k

9 left
me:32k
2nd: 9.4k

With nine left a couple people hit big draws to double up off me and tighten things up. Down to 4 now and there's no doubt I'm playing the best of those left.
me: 34,260
2nd: 25,474
3rd: 11,536
4th: 5,230

Took a while, but down to 3.
me: 48k
2nd 18k
3rd 8k

heads up
50k vs 25k
27k to 49k Kings vs rolled up 7s

and with a set of 9s I win my first stud 8/b tournament (vs 2 pair)
