And you are absolutely right in trusting that feeling, imo. Those over-aggressive players may steal several blinds and be on top during the first 30-40 minutes, but they very rarely end up ITM.
In tournaments of this type, I stick to the strategy of calling all-in at the beginning of the game
(then I leave the game for 30-40 minutes) and go back to the beginning of the addons. Thus, a successful call early in the game allows me to wait out the aggressive period of the game. Because if I do not take a break, I will not have the strength for the final tournament,
(a series of tournaments which, in addition to the final, includes 3-4 more satellites).
