Me an my buddies play a weekly NL Texas Holdem Tourney with around 8-10 people. 5 buck buy in, and increasing blinds. Im a good player, but cant manage to win these, and I dont know why. What strategies should I use for this specific tourney? (one-table tourney with 8-10 players) Thanks in advance

Well if that's true, then you're sample size is insufficient. Chalk it up to variance.

If you look on the left there's a forum dealing specifically with single table tournaments. Go there and don't ask the question you just asked, but browse the forum for a while and see what you can learn. There's a good FAQ at the top of the page you should go through and it should answer some of your questions.
