Welcome to BRM!!!
Free Tips: Mob games. Play in it. Maybe you will have a good surprise.
About your question. What you play? With how many stack you begin to play? Is not the same play with 100bb/30-40bb/20bb and not the same SnG, MTT or cash.
As generic tips. Middle hands for steal and multiway pots. Low pairs call + no set no bet post flop(with 100bb). Buy software as HM or PT3 and work with it.

It all depends. When the tourney is in the beginning, it is better to play only stronger hands. You can think about trying to see the flop by just calling when blinds are still low with a middle-low hand (like 78 suited or J10), if your opponents let you, and then, if you start accumulating chips, then you can think about playing with your position, betting even not having good hand just to rob blinds. But, my first advice to you will be: read some hand histories from here and you will see anything can happen at the tables. Think about playing some freerolls first to earn some experience first, and only after think about going to the tables with money. Even if playing with no deposit bonus, you will not want to lose it fast, right? GL!
