To be successful at this game, you need a combination of both. In order to win tournwys, you need to be willing to take a stab at pots that you will not win at showdown. By only playing solid, premium hands, you will miss the flop a majority of the time and may have to continuation bet to push away 2nd pair or an opponent who called you with a better ace or pocket pair. By only playing a rock style, you'll give away more chips post flop and put yourself in a position that you have to gamble where you would not done so otherwise. Be selective when bluffing, or you'll go broke making a donk play.
