Default Re: MTT\'ers... what is your edge?

Where does our edge come from in MTT?

1: Generally Folding dominated hands to raises.
2: Generally Folding dominated Aces from early position.
3: Speculating well early with hands that can make monsters.
4: Speculating well in middle game with hands that can make sets.
5: Using position and a dominating chip stack to steal pots from weak tight players.
6: Restealing from opponents that raise wide but call narrow to our push.
7: Properly using short stack strategy in late game, by using resteals, stop and go, open pushes depending upon our chip stack at the time.
8: Having an understanding of ICM, how chips are not cash, and using $EV to make the best decision at each decision point.
9: Abusing the tightness of players at the bubble and final table by open pushing and openraising much wider than the field.
10: Making good pot odds calls of short stack pushes in the late game.

Now... Execution is the hard part, and lets not forget the all important final two:

1: Run goot.
2: Win every coin flip.

Lately, I don't feel like I have an edge. I feel more like a nice round soccer ball.

To those of you who that do have an edge, how many rounds does it take to tag an opponent as weak/tight, etc? I am finding it difficult to do with so few show downs.

Recklessness is important. I sucked in MTT's when I actually tried to survive. Now I take coin flips, raise every hand... and I do well.

Do you find it difficult to play several MTT's at once and still play your almost-best?
