Recently I have been going deep in a lot of tourniements but missing the money by 10 or 20 so people. What do you guys think I should do to help get into the money more often than not when I get deep in a tournemnt?

Stop trying to "get into the money" and start trying to win the tournament. You're very likely playing much too tight as you close in on the bubble.

Be more aggressive and steal the blinds more in the later stages, you don't want to be a short stack as the bubble approaches

Don't put much stock in how long you last. While you have to last in order to cash and win, the danger is that if you focus much attention on lasting, it's likely at the expense of decreasing your probability of getting very deep / winning.

It's counter-intuitive to quite a few players, but there's more profit in cashing somewhat less often if your average cash is somewhat larger. Due to how payout tables are typically structured, it does work out this way over the long term.

Can you share some of the mistakes you feel you're making that is causing you to not cash?
