FTOPS Event #8 is coming up and its a Pot Limit Hold'em tournament. I want to do well in this, and I was curious if anyone had any experience/suggestions on how to approach a Pot Limit tournament differently than a No Limit tournament.

The biggest difference is the ability to control pot sizes. Drawing hands (suited Ax and connectors) in unraised pots are more playable from earlier positions than in NL since the raises you'll be forced to call will be smaller. More emphasis should be put on winning lots of small pots and you should raise very aggresively in early rounds with good hands in order to build a pot big enough to get decent bet in on the turn and river (assuming the board hasn't completely destroyed your hand).
In other words not much difference than NL: Keep pot small while drawing. Try to bloat them when your made. The pot limit format just makes the first easier and the second harder.
