What makes them so good in your mind?

They're all really really good at winning lots of pots without showing down. I hate the concept of tourney life for the most part, but there is some merit to winning small pots and figuring out how and when people are most likely to fold. Becoming a big winner by playing a solid tourney game with a few late position steals is a thing of the past IMO. Some people seem to be afraid to look stupid or put their chips in bad and that's a huge handicap for them. Assuming you've played a lot of hands, I feel like going with your instincts will get you more tourney success than anything else. That being said, I've never attempted nor had tourney success so who am I to give advice.

God damn it, I've been trying to tell the forum this for eighteen months, and you said it perfectly in one paragraph, like an afterthought. I feel dumb.
