By "wide open" I mean playing lots of hands and playing them aggressively without any reason to. I mean using positional advantage as you might expect late in a tourney when blind levels dictate more of a raise-or-fold mentality.

I also mean giving and getting more action that you might optimally give.

It might be fair to say that the play I saw was that of non-specialists. But I must say that if that is what constitutes general tournament strategy, I'm really not impressed. I expected better play.

I was hoping that someone might explain to me the value of raising 24JJ from the cutoff when the blinds are 50/100 and you're the 2nd one in the pot. I thought that maybe I was missing a point of general tournament strategy. Because for each play that made sense to me, I saw a guy with a large stack pushing around A49Q like it was AA2x.
