In a tournament, depending on how the table is playing, I will adjust my range and try to portray a certain image that will allow me to trap or represent hands and bluff. If the table is lose, I'll raise a small pocket pair, bluff, and show my hand, this helps me build bigger pots later when I have premium hands. Or I could have bottom pair and value bet on the flop to represent top pair, then 3 bet on the turn.... this is called semi bluffing? In a tournament, I'm constantly adjusting and coming up with a game plan of how I'm going to take advantage of each player at my table. In 1/2, none of this works, you just have to sit back and wait on a hand.
