I agree with this guy. It is not going to do harm as long as you understand what your doing. It is the 85% rule most of the time at micro stakes, 85% of the time people are playing the cards they are dealt. I want to add this important thought though.. I think that there is a time in these tournaments when the stacks and blinds change in dynamic and either the cash bubble or final table bubble cause the play to elevate. You find that you can make moves late in these tourneys and sometimes throughout the middle stages if you pick your spots well. But in these situations towards the end, it can cause a $2 tournament to feel like a $20 tournament. Sometimes it is because the better players made it that far, or because the inexperienced players do not want to blow making the money. Almost 2000 tournaments later I am starting to do well on the low limits and I would say I agree with almost all of these replies. I am definitely looking forward to graduating on though!
