Default Resteals vs MTT buy-in

Simple question - do you resteal less in lower buy-in MTTs? It seems like they are more successful for me in $20+ buy-ins, but don't know if it's just my record so far with them.

I rarely make moves like resteals and squeezes in most of the tournaments I play ($11 or less).

Against a good aggressive villain though, I will make an occassional resteal in them...but not often.

yep, people aren't opening super wide in lower buyin mtts and when they do they still can't fold K8s.

The single case where I've seen a bunch of resteals effectively was in my first 180 with about 25 left. Lots of rejams from the blinds to the left of me (because once it worked 3 times, it became apparent that most people were scared). Twice when I had a fine stealing hand I got jammed into and had to let go; effectively making me tightening my stealing range....until I picked up aces and stacked the over-aggro jammer.

I would avoid squeezing low MTT. Typically I see a bunch of players overlimping pocket pairs without correct implied and then calling for value in a squeeze situation.
