This question could be answered with a hundreds of pages of text. I will try my best to do it in a few paragraphs.

Over the long run, all players expect to get about the same amount of good, bad, and mediocre hands. The hands players get dealt will rarely vary more than one or two percent between any two players. Since you will have be dealt about the same hands as anyone else in the long run, your results will be determined by your decisions. Whoever makes the best decisions ends up with the money.

This means your goal is to make the best possible decisions at all times. You gotta be doing stuff better than your opponents to win. To be one of the world's top players will require lots of work.

You will need to spend lots of time studying and playing the game. Analyze your play and your opponents play. Look for mistakes that you and your opponents make. Top players are constanly striving to become just a little bit better. They are willing to do anything to increase their edge. You gotta be willing to put in the effort to learn and improve that 99 percent of the world's other players don't.

I spend hundreds of hours performing poker simulations with wilson's turbo software. Studying the effects of position, blind play, game texture and the like. When I play poker, I watch EVERYTHING my opponet does. I ask myself question about their play, I wanna know why they bet in one spot instead of checked or why they checked instead of bet and so on. I have reads tons of books on the subject and have also studied psychology and probability. I analyze my hands after a session from every angle, I don't wanna miss anything. If I made a mistake that cost me a penny, I wanna be ready to correct the mistake next time around.

Think of yourself as some ancient martial arts guy who spent 30 years of intensive training to finally acheive master status. That's the kind of dedication it will take to become one the world's best no limit HE players.
