Don't be afraid to spend money.

Going all-in at the 1st hand seems like a bad idea at first coz you'll definetly get a caller sooner or later but the power from making the other players cringe can let you win some big pots when the tourney goes deeper (Sn'G STT).

Also, setting a time limit would be great; like, let's say, playing for 4 hours straight can make you lose money from blinds if you're card dead but the experience will help when a tourney goes 3 hours deep and it's HU!!!
