So guys, this caused problems b4, but I have some stats now.
 
35 MTT played over 2 weeks.
 
Either forced all in or pushed all in at some stage in tourny (Final table in 5 of them, no wins)
 
out of the 35 I was ahead at showdown on 27 occasions. 
 
Of the 27 17 were pre flop, the other 10 after the flop. The other 7 where I was behind was the same.
 
Out of the 7 I was behind I won 6.
Out of the 27 I was ahead I won 9.
 
So first things first, I feel that my judgement must be good as I am ahead at showdown 80% of the time.
 
But I do think, regardless what anyone says, poker is 99% luck and at best 1% skill/ judgement/ balls.
 
The reason is that because of the popularity of poker now, you can`t shake some people off!!!
 
This is backed by David Sklansky`s article on his `system` where he told a player who had never played b4 to do the following:-
 
"If someone else has raised in front of u, move all in with AA, KK, AKs. Otherwise fold.
 
If no one else if front of you has raised, all in with any pair, ant Axs, AK or any suited connector apart from 34s and 23s"
 
This in the main, is for $25 plus buy in tournys - people don`t wanna be out to early. After the early rounds you should have built up a nice stack, or you will be out!!!
 
So, this is what happens now on line. Even the 1% advantage is under threat, because that is based on people making sensible decisions, not the nuttas and fish u get playing on line!!!
 
Also, to save people the bother, the reason I think the `top players` get there is because:- People like Doyle Brunson were quality players who played when the game was much different.
 
The newer players have hit it lucky in a comp, won $500,000+ and can afford to gamble.
 
Well, as usual, your comments are always appreciated.
