The real secret of winning is not quitting before you have a chance to win. This applies mostly to matching up not tournaments. Although in tournaments playing hard right to the end even if you end up losing is a winning strategy. I once saw Miz lose a match after fighting back from a huge deficit. He didn't sit there lamenting the close loss after playing so hard, he parlayed the good play in the next match and blew away his opponent and went on to win the tournament from the losers side. What I said in the first line has to be kept in perspective though. Having heart and not quitting when you should be negotiating the 7 ball is NOT a winning strategy. You have to know your own game.
