i will never forget my mindset entering the tournament of my biggest win.i was so determined and dedicated to getting as deep as i possibly could,i made up my mind i was going to take the very least amount of risk i possibly could,and yet i still found myself in a couple of very tight spots reasonably late in the game,and i got very very lucky in those spots.i still ask myself,could i have avoided those situations,or was it really more of a calculated guess based on how many cards had been folded pre and post flop.in any case it took every ounce of skill within me to reach those couple of very lucky spots,and when you see a pro win a tournament of thousands of people twice in a row no matter how many lucky breaks were involved if any,its the skill and consistency/perseverence that gets them there...no two ways about it in my mind.another way of looking at it,if you skillfully avoid backwards steps,saving your stack for when you need to take a gamble,and get "unlucky" youve still got a stack equal to those that have been playing loose and taking those backwards steps,where as they on the other hand cant afford the same gamble without the loss meaning game over...so for me..no matter how much i scrutinise...its all skill at the end of the day one way or another.
