Under the gun is the new button in tournaments. Re-stealing from the SB is a bluff 80% of the time. Squeezing from the BB versus a CO raise and Button call is a bluff 91.94% of the time.
I think almost anyone can be a successful tournament player.
You could rail a couple $109 re-buys and basically pick up all you need to know.
The difference between the people who succeed and the people who don't is patience, a little bit of reasoning, and a lot of running good.
Full stacked cash games are and always will be the true test of a good poker player.
The rest is all luck and timing.

you're absolutely right about the UTG/EP stealing. i used to play the FTP 28k ($150 buy-in) as often as i could through satellites and when i got deep, i'd run always seem to run into a player "Cmoney3" who was killing it with regularity by doing this. he wouldn't even raise much, like 2.5x. but, just enough to push players out or take it down on a raggy flop. he went on to win the Monday 1k in August for $80k.
he's a freakin' beast.
