BJ Tournament strategy - fair to say that the literature out there is not

great? I've been looking a little and haven't been overwhelmed.

I've played in a few of late and some things stick out:

1) I don't see anyone who counts.
2) The tournaments I've played use 2:1 BJ payout. This has to translate to aggressive being better than conservative. Some guys just don't want to lose chips. The +EV as a result of the generous BJ payout has to mean u should be pushing chips out, right?
