I agree with almost everything thats been posted thus far. Hard work, understanding bubble play, mastering bubble play, more hard work and playing all contribute.

There is an aspect of luck involved as well, particularly when you consider the 800 chip games on Party. That aspect of luck may and probably is small, but it can certainly seperate a player with a good win rate from a player with a great winrate, even over 1000s of games.

I will CRUSH all those who think I'm weak-tight. that's so dumb. I hate you. I hate you all. so like, drapes is doing laundry right now. you all know I can't do it because I hate doing laundry and gave up my World Champ laundry belt to Yugo some time back. See, because she's doing my laundry right now I can't vent to her about how all these online idiots think I'm weak-tight. THE OUTRAGE....ridiculous. I can't believe it.

balls. the bigger yer balls, the better u do in poker. ok the diff between a great 109er that struggles in the 215s and a great 215er that pwns everything is pretty simple. PERFECT bubble play. and i mean perfect. no mistakes. not occasionally making a -ev shove, occasionally letting someone keep their bb when u dont wanna shove 23o, etc. perfect.

From my so far limited experience, this is also the case in the $109s..

The general theme of this post reminds me of a poster that a teacher of mine in high school had:

Many have the will to succeed, but far fewer have the willingness to do what it takes to succeed.

Exactly.

Also, going from breakeven at the 11s to a medium winner at the 109s is similar to going from there to a significant 215s winner.

hes saying that curtains is a very good player and winner at the 215s. im not saying its not possible to do well, but he would do better if he opened up his early game, and he knows it. holla
