It's not playing wrong. It's adapting your strategy to win. In order to play optimally, you need to constantly be evaluating risk/reward for each decision/strategy you have. Regardless of what ELO you're in, you're doing this same thing to win. The tips mentioned are simply generalizations for the patterns that occur in these games to help you, but these tips alone will not help you directly win every game.
