    How the hell do you win every form of poker, at every stake, in every big live and online series? How do you fit all that info under that small curly head of yours?

    What seperates people like you gboro moorman etc from the average winning HS MTT reg with an ROI of like 20-40% in most normal tournaments? and what steps can someone like me who has a real solid background and understanding of mtt poker do to make the jump from grinding semi succesfully with like a 15-25% ROI to a 50%+ in most tournaments. and of course im talking about expected ROI not actual due to the absurd variance

    How much does your 'image' at the table or how your opponents perceive you to be playing actually affect your play? How does this differ vs good thinking opponents in higher buyins and the straightforward/bad players in the lower buyins?

    Thanks!
