Default HORSE Tourney -- When, if ever, should I call instead of complete?

First, I never complete when I am the bring-in. I think this is largely accepted as good strategy.

Second, I rarely, if ever, enter the pot if I am the first one in -- after the bring-in -- without completing.

Third, the only time I call when I desire to enter the pot is when there are 2+ limpers -- excluding the bring-in -- and I don't have a strong enough hand to raise for value, ie punish limpers with. This occurs rarely, however, as I don't want to enter these multi-way pots without a hand strong-enough to complete with.

For instance, I may just call if the blinds are smallish, there are several callers and I hold a hand in Razz like (AT)2 or a hand in Stud like AcJc(3c)

Fourth, should I be calling more often? If so, under what circumstances? Can the decision to call be a function of stack-size, blind-size and position? Or, is calling pretty much always wrong?

BTW, I am very new to HORSE, so forgive me if there are glaring mistakes in strategy or terminology in this post.
