Well i find it harder to beat the bubble in freerolls and super micro stakes because of people playing like that, but in low stakes like a 5 or 10 dollar buy in people play a little decent, and i think i have an edge in that game. early in the tournament i play tight agressive but ill play mid level hands in position. Closer to the bubble i play a little looser and aggressive to put pressure on low and middle stacks trying to make it in the money. But the highest stakes I've finished in first was a 10 dollar buy in so maybe someone else has more tips

You can't beat variance, even your best hands pre flop are beat on the river by the worse hand sometimes, just part of poker, especially online poker where a percentage of people play, in my opinion so much looser. What's going to make you win tournaments is perseverance, always trying to play your best, laying down hands you wouldn't normally lay down, and sometimes playing hands you don't normally play when and if your getting the right pot odds, things like that will help. Just keep playing and eventually you will get in your own rhythm of how to win hands.

You didn't make a mistake. You just got unlucky.

Well I advice you to not focus on getting to First in tourney and just focus making best available decisions in every hand u play
U must understand tournament requires skill and luck because of insane fields especially in micros
to get First u need definitely luck at some crucial point of game which will give an oppurtunity to have a shot at FT and how u make best use of it is up to u
u just play proper poker from start to end , the only thing anybody can do
and if cards fall for u at right time , then u might make it
be tight at early , play looser later , make aggressive moves , read ur players & table , exploit them etc
Just make every possible +EV plays and GL

You have to play tight/aggressive that means when u dnt have good hand and ure not in good position just fold but when u hit the flop dnt be afraid to put money in,especially if ure in late position

the only sure way to come in first is to have all the luck skill alone is not enough at the poker table ace ace can lose at any time.
