Default NL Tourney Donk gonna play PL Tonight - adjustments?

I'm playing FT's PL FTOPS tourney tonight - it'll be my second PL tourney (the SNG satellite being the first).

Any simple adjustments I should make (emphasis on simple)?

Thanks in advance.

play tighter out of position.

your draws oop position require more care because you can't just shove and get it all in flop.

no antes, big change compared to ftps reasonable sized antes.

focus on pot control and building pots when you want to. this is a bit nebulous i know.

that's another thing i forgot to mention. its hard to articulate but, in nl you can just start open shoving when you want, 12x 11x 9x etc.

here you cannot, and it feels to me at least like limit when blinds get big in tourneys. you have to be more careful about choosing your spots and your opponents because the hand is going to be played over two streets in some cases and in other cases you just have to decide you are going with this hand, no matter what, or at least absent a miserable flop.

not sure if that rambling makes sense.

With 8-12bb stacks that id usually shove with hands in EP in NL, i like to limp/backraise and get it allin preflop in PLH. Its kinda risky obv, but i hate 3.5x It with 11bbs and then haveing to check fold in a multi way pot.

Also, I dont advocate clicking the "pot" button just because it is pot limit. 3k starting chips is enough to make standard size re raises and c-bets without inflating pots like on UB. I'd definatly play a little more lag in LP as the pot can't get but so huge unless someone is potting it.
