Re: What is the key to becoming a real top player?
Never bluffing is a mistake. The fact of the matter is to win these tournaments you do need to get lucky. You cannot expect to get your chips in with the best of it every single time. It's better to get 4,000 chips in at a 55/45 underdog than blind down to 3,000 and get them in as a 55/45 favourite. The people who win these tournaments are often the sort to go out early when they don't do well, trying to build up a big stack.
You need to identify players who are playing like you are at the moment and steal chips off them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Obviously the more chips you have the more pressure you can put people under, which is why some of the best players are willing to take risks early to get to that position, even if it often results in an early exit.
