Every time i watch game series like "SCOOP" or sunday million on pokerstars, i keep asking myself how these players getting there every time, i mean i am sure they are good players but how is that possible when it's online, when you dont know how the platform or the mechanism of the software works?
What's your opinion about that? i'll be glad to hear from you and to get some ideas to help me understand.:)

its mostly tournament stratagy they have a good game plan and stick to that when they see their getting a return, they worst thing to do in poker is keep using a strat that yields no results from day to day ifind my strat is a little different depending if i kno the players im playing with or if they seem to be loose with their chips, the game of poker is allways evolving and its a players decision if they need to evolve with the game or stick with a great start that works for them so that would be why you see the same names alot

Yes. it is important to start slowly and with caution, the start of any tournament is the hardest thing.

experience is important when you play poker ,most players of them are really good players ..i dont think they are bots .Good players always make the hit somewhere ...and they play everyday ...more possibilities for them to be at final table

Good players use their skill to apply consistent actions to situations that result in plenty of decent finish's. The only way to get solid paid finish's is to study hard and play as much as you can.

There is one online player for Katoro I watch. However, I see the card only at autopsy. He plays only the big tournaments. Playing with the big buy-in ($ 50,000). I have it marked "lucky." In a situation where I would have thrown off, he plays all-in. Unfold the card: it has 4.4, his opponenta- AA. He comes 4 (set). And this is just one example. I don `t know what to think: so lucky or ...? I want to believe that this is just luck - it does not always win. There are also losses.

It only shows that you can sometimes get a bad beat but overall poker is a game of skill - for example Holz who won scoop 2015 and he also placed very high this year or Phil Ivey who won Aussie Millions 3times in a row ( Ivey example is from live tournaments)

Strategy+Skill+Reads+Luck = Final Table
Equation looks quite simple

For the strategy part i can only say one thing - these guys don't push all in before they're "in the money" They prefer to let it go with Jacks if someone goes all in pre-flop.
Another interesting thing is that they're using x2-2.5 BB bet pre-flop, while others prefer to x3 or x4 BB bet. The higher the starting bet is - the higher your next bets are, cause most of the bets are pot committed. It means that they're building some pot for the showdown, not trying to make opponents fold their hand during the deal like most players do also they're not trying to build huge pot with most of their and opponents stacks before the river card.
At the river when it's clear that they've got the nuts - they start push\raise action. If they don't have the nuts - they act slowly like check\call\fold.
