Table image is huge in online tournaments to be honest it is the difference between making the money and perhaps winning the tournament, in sitngos you want to pay attention the whole time to players, where as in larger tournaments such as freerolls you may be moved too much, however I see alot of the same players over and over again, and I usually can catch the right players bluffing because of their previous play, I also know which players are calling stations, and I shouldnt invest a lot of chips into bluffing unless I want to get caught on a small bluff to set them up for later. At the final table you will likely be there a while and this is when getting a decent idea of how a player plays makes all the difference. If you get heads up with an aggressive player you have to make an effort to play more aggressive or he will walk right over you. Also if you have an overly tight player short handed or heads up you want to try and steal the pots early and get them frustrated to where they finally make a stand when you have them beat. anyways could go on and on but knowing your competition is a huge difference other wise your just playing your hand and guessing too much.
