pretty good ring game NL player, looking for advise

[damn_river]

i play online MTT at Pardise Poker. low buy-in, large player pool (300-1200 players). Out of my last 50 tournements, i have never reached the final table. i have made it to the final two tables a few times, made it to the money about 10 times. i feel like i am down money, but haven't kept close attention. what can i do to improve my results?

UH well when in the tournaments do you usually get knocked out??

[damn_river]

what kind of advise is that?

All he's saying river is if we know when you normally get knocked out we can help you better. Just saying you want to do better isn't going to help a whole lot. We can tell you to steal more blinds in position, and to play tight at the beginning.... if you're getting knocked out in the money but early in the money (Which BTW is my normal problem) I find that I'm not stealing enough blinds, simple enough. By that time there are normally antes, and therefore steals are more important.

At the same time don't be more inclined to go all in just because your in the money.

That's a few bits of advice.

exactly my problem. i finish in the money my fair share (have not kept track of my finishes, but should), i have never made it to a final table. made it to the final 2 tables about 3 times out of my last 50 attempts.

Then I feel your pain brother.

It's tough to get to a final table consistently unless you are good enough to be a pro IMO. I look forward to my first final table greatly.

I won't be one to give advice here, maybe Chief? I'm sure he's tired of handing down the same advice time and time again.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Just from experience, Paradise players seem to be looser than those on other sites. Just my experience as I said, but perhaps try a different site for a change?
