If they are terrible, I feel like I can probably run circles around them with whatever cards I am given. If they are better than me, you'll probably see me waiting around for a hand a little bit more often, not taking as many risks and floating people on the flop. I suppose it's fair to say that players will change throughout the tournament, so I like the way you broke this down as well.

After reading this portion of it, I think that this will definitely aid those who are take poker as either a serious hobby or play to earn money as a job. What I found very useful is the transition between playing on the bubble in accordance to playing while in the money. I don't know a single soul that plays just to be in the money: They are all out to win. Although luck does play some part in it (most of that geared towards heads-up turn and river all-in hands), it's a fact that a good percentage of pots taken were done so by one's mannerisms, not by the cards he/she is holding at the time.
