what makes a great sng player, take 2

[lacky]

there was a pissy post last night using this title to basicaly say we chase all the great players away. But I gave a serious reply, i liked it, i spent the time to type it, then it got locked. So i'm reposting it dammit

----------------------------------------------

being a great sng player isn't a mystery. You wanna know? I'll tell you. To be great you have to.....

1) be able to know how your opponent thinks and reacts in different situations.

2) be able to base your play on what you know about their play, and what you know they know about your play.

3) be right in your decisions based on that knowledge significantly more often than you are wrong.

the hard part isn't figuring out what great play is, the hard part is doing it.
