How do you think, how many really stupid moves you must to do to win tonrnament with 1000 players or near it? Or you can play without high risk moves?

You will not be able to play for a long time like a fish. There are cases when the yield bigger map and do not converge on the table, and the small card you can all be in action. If you play only on the small map that nothing good will come. Perhaps only occasionally for the game, 25-30 hands once played for small (but I do not do that). Under shallow I mean one color Connect card.Who's stopping you experience it yourself to the freeroll.

How many stupid moves? What are you suggesting, that you need to make mistakes and then suckout to win a tournament? That's just not right. Yes, it's true that some luck is involved in surviving a large field MTT, but that doesn't mean you need to play like a donk. The answer to your question is ZERO stupid moves. We make our decisions based on the information we have at the time, and on our experience under similar conditions. Poker is a game of incomplete information and often we find that our read of a situation is wrong, but we win anyway. Our opponent will often throw a hissy and call us bad names, but that doesn't mean we made a mistake or that our move was "really stupid".

Let me give an example. You've played solid poker for 5 hours and now you're HU with 15bb vs a laggy player who open shoves all-in. You have AQ and call (of course). You're opponent shows AK and you river a three outer to take it down. You feel a tinge of guilt until your opponent comments on your IQ an maybe tosses in something about your mother. Was your read wrong? Yes. Did you make a mistake? Absolutely not. In a 5 hour tournament you might see 400 hands and have 10 tough decisions, you're bound to be wrong about at least one of them.

The great thing about poker is that EVERYONE has a chance of winning, even bad players, that's why they keep coming back.The difference between the good ones and the bad ones is that the good ones have a better than random chance of winning and the bad ones less. Every bad play you make diminishes your chances of going deep, every good one improves them.

you dont have to make any stupid moves to win a 1000 player tournament, what you need is to win some coinflips and maybe a few 40%-60% 30%-70% and 20%-80% as well. the most important thing to win a mtt is luck however you should always try to make the best moves in order to improve your odds to win and take some chances like risking your stack on a coinflip and make good read on your opponents like some hero calls and good bluffs. good luck.

If I call a raise preflop, I like to donk bet any wet straighty boards like for example 7-8-9 or 7-9-10 with flush draws, because a standard raising hand like any ace or a big pair will both be a bit scared of those flops

You dont need to do any donk moves (wtf ? :D ) , you just need to run good and win a lot of flips in order to win that kind of tourney, nothing too special :p
