    If you win a tournament can you honestly say you (must have) played every hand correctly?
    On one level you must have, because the goal was to win the tournament, and you did!
    Can anyone fault this logic?

    What if you were headsup, and had 72o, guy raises all-in, and you catch a glimpse of his cards by accident. He has AA. You go all-in and win.

    Some would say you didn't play that very well and still won.

    The logic is somewhat flawed. More correctly you might say "you didnt play any hand terminally badly".

    I don't think I've ever won a tournie where I didnt make a bad call and got a bit of luck. Noone plays perfectly.

    Generally the players that make the least mistakes do better in tournaments, but you also need to be extremely lucky in large multis. You can also play perfectly and go out and any stage of the tournament.

    Unless you're the chip leader! Endeavour at all times to be the chip leader at your table to avoid this unfortunate situation. Obviously you can still go out on the first hand, because everyone starts with the same amount of chips, but if you get knocked out of the tournament after that, you have only yourself to blame.
