Table selection and emotional control. Those may be the only two reasons I've had any success at mid/high stakes, and the only reasons I may have success at higher games, i.e. 50/100+.

I honestly think that almost any reasonably intelligent person can beat this game if they want to. I happened to read a few books and also select tables well.

I honestly don't think i'm terribly succsessfull, just a Mr. Average.
