Not to bring this up again or maybe I do but this is from Taylor Caby's blog which I think sums it up for me as well. I guess he doesn't know anything about poker as well.
When I play the regular tournaments, I am just so inexperienced. I don't know all of the proper times for squeeze plays, blind stealing (dos and don'ts, etc), and the worst part about my game is dealing with bad players. I really don't play too many bad players at 25/50nl+ and I'm not used to exploiting guys that clearly have huge flaws in their game. My game works much better against thinking opponents and it's hard for me to play against some of the players who are overvaluing top pair or making bets when they don't know if they are bluffing or value betting.

If you can't exploit bad players you have a serious weakness in your game.
If any aspect of ego is involved while you're playing, you have no future whatsoever in poker, and any success you do achieve will turn into a menace that ultimately causes more pain than happiness. This is gonna happen to a lot of players who are enjoying success right now. Its a lot harder to keep it than to get it.
There are bad players at all levels. They are bad because they make a lot of mistakes. Mistakes are where the money comes from. Money is the only reason to play. Keep it simple.
