Stormswa,

Congrats on your win!

You seem to have a strong propensity for MTT play...what do you feel are the most important attributes of a good MTT player, and what tools / plays / strategy do you think are most important to get you to the money slots? I'm relatively young in my poker career and I like to get other players thoughts regarding their game(s). Anyone else, please feel free to chime in as well.
