Run stupid good. When you play weak, speculative hands like 35suited out of position, turn a straight versus a flopped set. Get dealt KK versus QQ alot, after showing that you're clearly a ******, making it improbable that you have a hand like KK. Hit flushes with hands like 56 suited. Remember, there's a difference between playing hands like these and hitting them every time you play them. You probably can't accomplish feats like this, leave them to the professional luckboxes. Like this guy.

dude honestly i dont see anything wrong with the way that guy played at all.. maybe being a little too aggro early in the tourney, but hell, late tourney, i play almost exactly like that

so many chips from taking down pots with c bets and you always get paid off because of your image

are you talking about the KK vs 44 hand or the JJ vs Q8?

I hope you're talking about KK vs 44......

He wasn't aggro. He was a fish that was couldn't fold, and couldn't miss a hand. But sure, it's a good idea to attempt bleed chips early in a tournament. It's a better idea to crush every flop that you see.
