So what about the rest of you - are you a chance taker - or do you like to do the slow, wait until you have something build?

I don't consider myself a noob, but I'm no pro either... I do like playing against tight players though, I find generally they're quite predictable, especially more so in a tournament versus limit, what I normally play.
In tournaments people will seldom either raise preflop, or at least a significant amount. Especially in the early rounds, calling the blind or double the blind with "non premium" hole cards (unsuited connectors, any two suited, etc) can pay off depending how many people are in the pot, what the flop looks like, etc... If a "tight" player only tends to call with face cards, you can stand a good chance trapping them with two low pairs, or bluffing them out of a low flop.
Granted I won't play this way against a hefty raise, but at least in these nightly gfy tourneys, no one raises premium hands and thus allows anyone to limp in with any two, sometimes catching monsters.
Shrug.
