We have a winner.

I was going to say something along these lines, you beat me to it.

I'm torn between:

"In the long run we're all dead"

and

"If it weren't for luck I'd win everytime".

In all seriousness I think the best single MTT advice I've received is that it takes forever to get into the long run to know anything about your skill level in MTT and that the downswings, even for a great player, can be really, really big.

"all you gotta do is double up and then triple it"

it's that simple

We're born broke and we die broke and everything in between is variance.

To live you must be willing to die.

I don't know if it's advice, but i read it and it's helped me a good bit.

1. You'll never get a 2nd chance at this tournament, so be patient

2. No tournament has ever been won in the first 3 hours of play.

1. Meh.

2. Untrue.

"Poker tournament are not so much won, as they are stolen" - I remember reading this in one of Greg's posts but I'm not sure if it is an original quote.
