This is mostly true in no limit and short-handed play, though. Not many people win consistently playing loose at full ring limit tables unless the games are very juicy. I know you know that, but other people in this thread may not.
I think the biggest part of being a consistent winner in poker is learning to fold at the correct times. This doesn't mean folding a lot, but folding when it is correct to do so. 99% of low limit (and a nice percentage of mid- and high-limit) players simply blow off too many chips by chasing too much. It doesn't help when your pre-flop card selection sucks, either. You simply cannot play A6 under the gun and expect to come out ahead in the long run.
