without any other info all i can say is that it is very possible, if you ad some more info you might get more precise answer...
for starter what was the buy in, what was the blind structure?

More players, the less likely you will finish higher. Too much added variance and land mines to dodge. This is why the wsop main event has so many unfamiliar faces every year run deep.

The only thing I can guess is that you play differently.

I think these 2 points should be noted and taken into account...Yet DrazaFFT you had asked what the buy-in to the said game was, does that make a big difference? Their are multiple satellites on stars to bigger buy-in games and yet the fields to those bigger buy-in games are still none-the-less soft, (EG) Sunday Million/Warm-up &ETC..My point is that because a game is much higher in terms of buy-in doesn't necessarily make it much better players, now their are exceptions to this rule the WCOOP main event buy-in 25k (I think that's the buy-in for it, I could be mistaken)...

well the buy in does make the difference because it will add some information without which neither of our answers wouldn't be precise it would be just guessing for example the answer i wanted and expected for my question is that 10k field is freeroll like round 1 or whatever the freeroll name on stars is or ept live freeroll and the 360 field is $.10 360 sng, that was my first guess. I have to admit that you have a good point about the buy in it self doens't dictate the field strength but with knowing the buy in you will also get some more info perhaps it was a rebuy or multientry tourney or what ever tourney where the field drops 1k or more per level...

it would be funny to see if OP even respond to this tread again, thou

You could be playing tighter towards the bubble in large mtts to try and make the money first and they likely have slower structures. 360 man tournaments are turbos, so obviously much faster games. Don't concentrate on trying the reach the money, try look for building a big stack and become more aggressive around bubble time.

As the others have said without further info its difficult to say where your going wrong. You maybe tightening up to much and missing some value hands. How many have you played ?..

I wonder how you could make it so far. I always looses at the beginning till middle stage of the big tournements. I think that it is much more difficult to run deep in a big tournement than in a small ones. The reason is just because the big tournements regularly have fast blind levels and I always get sucked out. I was not once at the final table in a pokerstars freeroll, but I was often at final tables at Carbon Poker or any other site with not as big tournements as at Pokerstars. Just wonder how you make it so far with fast blind levels.

Playing good poker and winning a few flips..that's all there is to it

theirs alot you'l need to learn.

firstly the blind structure
secondly the table dynamics - remember your playing real people. everyones different adapting your game is important.

Generally position will be key for you. diminish your leaks by playing in position when the donks are first to act they pay you off. when their last to act bluffing isnt clever

Well, if this is true I wouldn't worry at all. Just play big tourneys and stop playing the small ones.:) You didn't give much info about what types of tournaments you are playing so it's very hard to say the reason. It could be anything from different blind structure to small sample of games you're judging this uncommon thing from.

i don't know of too many MTT's where there are 10,000 participants. In fact, off the top of my head, I can't think of any. Even the WSOP NLHE Main event only had 6,000 some entrants this year. What tournament was this for?

That depends on how many tourneys have you played.And what buy-in are your in.I think you can go in the moneys if you play enough of 360 people tournament.

The short answer for that short question would be to play less hand earlier in the MTT and get more aggressive near the bubble.
