Spee: How do you deal with having a bad run of cards in a tournament?

Fischman:: Usually when I play, my cards don't matter too much. If you keep looking at your cards you will never be a great player. The most important factors are stack size, position and blind level. If I am getting bad cards but am in the correct spot with the right amount of chips, I will push without looking!


Ok now I understand that when the blinds get especially high it is pushing time; that is why sngpt is so popular. But otherwise, I'd think the cards matter a helluva lot... is he perhaps exaggerating a little for the sake of emphasising how important other aspects of poker are?

He also said that he considers the amount of time someone takes online to be a good tell - do you all feel the same way?
