Players who win the most tend to play straightforward. (Theory Post)

[Gregg777]

This is only in regards to 400NL - 2000NL 6max.

By "win the most" I am referring to the largest overall sum of money, not the highest PTBB's. I am not referring the "best" players on 2 or 3 tables who make killer reads and outplay you. I am talking about the players who take the most money off of Party.

Almost everyone of the top winning players, at every level from 400NL and up, play fairly straightforward.

They all tend to have a few things in common:

They multi table (at least 4, but usually 6-10).
They make very few mistakes.
They seem to know most +EV spots and take advantage of them.
They are aggressive, but not overly aggressive.
They do very well in the blinds.

I have no real point, the thought just came to me after reading the recent post about player's leaks. A lot of it has to do with making reads and outplaying your opponents. And while that is all well and good, it still seems that the top winners are worrying less about making plays, and more about playing as many hands of mistake free poker while exploiting +EV situations.

If you disagree, please explain why.
