Why I reached not the final table?
Trying to understand my game, I decided to
find the reason why I did not reach the final table. And I realized that I have multiple root causes.
1. In the beginning of the game I play not boldly . The opponents are ahead of me!
2. In the middle of the game I play too fast.
and made not the right move, not thinking through the subtleties of the situation.
3.But when I reach the final table (! That is not very often) I play - inspired! and then only one Lady Luck directs my actions!:)

If you have a similar error, how you correct them?

First off reaching for the final table will only bring you close to it, usually. While on the other hand aiming to take first place will bring you closer to first place, easily within the final table.

The saying goes, "shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars."

Conclusions should always be made, a useful lesson at leisure, especially now there are many different programs for analysis.

Do you think that many players reach the final table more often? This is not so. So you're okay. Don't worry.

As a rule, the winners of the tournaments in the initial stage are not among the leaders, but play very tight. So the conclusion number 1 is probably not correct. At the beginning of the tournament you have to play only your best hands.

2. В середине игры я играю слишком быстро.

But this conclusion can be true. Scatter in the middle of the tournament and play more aggressively - quite justified tactics. But even here caution is needed before deciding on a bet to assess the situation on the table.

The initial stage of the game the best for aggressive play after the increase of the Bank is to play slowly, the final stage before the final table, it is necessary again to start to play with more aggression otherwise your Bank will quickly become 0 :(

Its just a matter of being mature and staying focused. Poker is a grind.

Agree with the grind approach. If you can build a decent stack early, you can have some protection from a bad beat. When it comes to the $$ and final table, i think you have to be aggressive with big hands. Just my opinion of course

This.
I've played in around 20 online tornys this week and not a sniff. Not due to bad play or my own personal reasons it's just variance in the game. This is the main reason you should have an adequate bank roll for the limits you play also as it's hard enough to cash as it is.

It does need some lucky at early stage.
If you got a good hand, aggressive is necessary, don't slow play.
