Re: overbet pushes into small pots early in low buy in tournies
Maybe in a $50, but not much less than that!

Re: overbet pushes into small pots early in low buy in tournies
I actually have played big hands this way early on as well. Especially in some of the bigger tournaments where the fields drop at such a fast rate, like the Sunday 100K or any $5-$20 tourney with a field over 2,000. It seems players are always looking to gamble early on, they're looking at the short-term of things. If I do push, I'll usually try to limit it to TT+ AK+ (not quite crazy about pushing with AK early on but if I'm multi-tabling maybe). Keep in mind this will usually only work once or twice.

Re: overbet pushes into small pots early in low buy in tournies
This is a very, very important point!
Your opponents are DUMB, or to be kind, they don't think like you (we) do. Remember back when you first started playing and you saw AJ UTG "ZOMGABIGACEIRAISEHUGEYAAAAAA" If I have even the slightest hint an opponent will be suspicious of large or inappropriate bets, then I'll risk just winning a tiny pot for the 1-5 chance he calls. -ZEN
