so you have to make bad decisions to win mtts? :D i did say though that if you make more good decisions than bad ones in a mtt that you will improve your chances of winning it or going deep..Yes even i have seen some players have an amazing run of cards and win mtts but also i have seen a great many who then never win another one after,a lot of the time its because they think they have cracked it,they think they have it figured out BUT then when they then start losing they blame everything but themselves and there poker game.
What has happened? have other players figured there style and now know how to tactically change to them? has variance finally caught up with them? surely if you keep getting your chips in behind or in to many flips then that affects your chances of winning?
Also the concept of high volume mtts is the only way to win big field mtts is flawed as the better players do have an uncanny ability to be consistently in the mix.
For example WestmenloAA on stars plays low volume in the belief that it makes him fresher and it works for him[check his record],JohnnyBax has now been in the top 30 online players for the last 3 1/2 years , is this an amazing run of variance or simply because the dude is bloody good?
Live play in recent history with the bigger fields even i see players come and go and yet i still see Allen Cunningham weaving his way through huge fields,Phil Hellmuth god bless him has now 11 bracelets all in NL mtts , that is no fluke.John Juanda doesnt play a high volume live and yet after a lean period results wise after 2005 still proves in london this year that his ability to win was no fluke.
I"m sure many of you can think of others online and live that seem to have that uncanny knack of constantly being in contention,this is NOT LUCK,they are simply very very good players who work hard at there game and the rewards are a by product. IN the steps games on stars how come stevie444 won 101 wsop packages,I DO NOT THINK THAT WAS LUCK.
The list can go and on and also Chad "Lilholdem954" Batista who had a very laggy style was burning up mtts on stars in 2007 but has now fallen off the radar WHY?
He famously blamed everything [rigged sites,bad beats,luck etc etc] but his own game but has now since realized that he has to work on his game.
LUCK LUCK LUCK LUCK try telling mike sexton that Stu Ungar,Doyle Brunsen or Amarillo slim are just lucky............and see what answer you get back............
