There's actually a lot of skill to it, advanced math, but more importantly psychology, deception and foresight. And luck lol
I'm doing the 50cents to 1$ buy in tournaments. Really fun, I treat it like entertainment.

Anyone here good at it?

I like poker, it's fun, I'm average playing - I never figured out what you guys called psychology behind it...

Observation, analysis, fronting

Low stakes is all about clout. Players don't know shit and will call your pocket aces with Q 7, unsuited. You will almost always get called in the beginning where all the unskilled players are. So you keep tight game and learn as much about your opponents as you can, only playing your cards when you know the odds are on your side. That way too later in the tournament when you want to start stealing the blinds and antes you have a tight table image and your given credit for your bluff.

As the tournament progresses, there's more likely to be more skilled players who read into the situation, they're the ones you can put moves on :mrgreen:

I'm not good enough to play high stakes yet, but thats where a lot of front comes into play.
