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

Sounds kinda weak-tight to me. You need to be more aggro in an MTT than in a cash game and be willing to call light on 3rd when donks are going to pay you off for 4 bets if you can beat 1 pair.

You really shouldn't be too formulaic as it seems you are here. If you ALWAYS do something, it's pretty likely wrong. Too much depends on situations and villians.

I particularly disagree with the never opening without completing strategy in small stakes stud games. Too many players will get married to weak hands if they put any chips in the pot. In stud8 especially, you make profit by playing multiway pots so you aren't necessarily winning by "thinning the field" early.
