For tournament poker, when I start a game, what I usually think about is just surviving, just existing. You know the M system (green zone yellow zone orange zone red zone), I think to myself, "just survive until you are in the orange zone or red zone, then you can start really gambling and trying to double up". Of course if an opportunity early on comes for me to double up I'll take it, but I am not thinking "I've gotta double up, gotta double up gotta double up!".
