Bubble

I am trying to understand where I am at as far as skill level. I am right at +/- 5 people of the bubble for 100+ person MTT's. Is this a good spot to be? I have been to a few final tables in some 100+/200+ fields, but haven't taken down a tourney that size. I just get discouraged sometimes...what do you guys think? Am i playing out of my league since i don't even cash half the time (although I am close...)?

Being around the bubble is not a place you want to be. I've played some MTT but mainly stick to the SNGs. I suggest playing the SNGs and you should at least cash half the time, sometimes winning the whole thing. But once you get to the point of cashing 3 out of 4 times and winning half of them, then you should go to the MTT. Thats how I got decent at MTT. Just a suggestion.

Maybe you play tight to go in the money. Don't you? If so, without have got especially good cards, you come to the bubble with a small stack and so it 's difficult to make any moves. You should play to win, and maybe you 'll be busted out more often in the beginning of tournaments, but when you go to the last stages you will have a bigger stack and you could take more money with an higher rank. So you will have more money but less often. IT should be better than few money a little more often...

No man... you are cashin in more than the average person cashes in, and
if im not mistaken your winning money. My advice to you is to keep up the
good playing and learn from expirience. In a while youll see yourself how
good of a player you are, and youll be more confident in your games,
unltimately winning those MTTs a good deal of the time. Now if your out
of your league, i cant really tell cause i havnt seen your games, but
according to your positions in the tournament i would say your doing
alright .
