Have you tried being less aggressive it seems like you got all your chips in before the flop an awful lot, in my opinion against the sort of players you get on Party you will achieve nothing, they will call whatever you raise if they get 2 pretty cards or lucky 72o.

I don't think that line of reasoning makes any sense. If your opponents will call with an inferior hand, you want to raise as much as possible. Variance will be high, but so will profits.

As for the original poster's problems, I make a note of how I go out of every tournament, and I have a list as long or longer of dominated draw-outs.

Those will even out over time. I think it's the other tournaments that are the problem for your ROI. Why aren't you placing in those? I am assuming you've basically listed a bunch of bad beat stories, and not consecutive tournament histories.

You say you never steal? That's fatal. You must take some blinds with non-premium hands to win these things.
