Reaching 6% is no easy feat, and it's not min-cash. Sometimes we get held hostage by circumstances (shortstacked, icm pressure, etc.). But we strive and learn the lessons poker gods give us. Plus, the year is still fresh.

You have to take this as an encouraging result rather a discouraging one. You did great. Finished right up in the top percentile. Without even seeing a single hand I know you must’ve played well!
However looking at the bounties you accrued whilst your finish was respectable it looks like you need to be gunning for the head prizes a little harder.
When I first started playing PKOs I was playing a standard nitty MTT strat which was all well and good for making it ITM and even running deep, but left a lot lacking in regard to the other half of the prize pool and competing for the win.
Different approach is needed for that!

The issue is, you are playing in a tournament with 1.680 entries, and they are always constructed this way, where outlasting 93% of the field dont even earn you 1 BI. In this case further exacerbated by the fact, it was a PKO, and you only knocked out one opponent. The solutation is to play in smaller fields. In a 45-man SnG (now called on-demand on Stars) outlasting 93% of the field gives you 3. place, which earn you more than 4 BIs. This makes it much easier to overcome variance and experience that winning feeling. It also gives you final table practice, which you can use, when you finally reach one in a large field MTT

Do not be sad. Better be happy that you made it to ITM and that you have the buy-in for 3 tournaments in your pocket.
2023 has only just begun and there are still many tournaments to play and deep runs to play.

Micros MTTs depend so much on variance so u cannot be frustrated everytime you don't win.
It's not like it's the end of July or something.
January is not even over.

Mix in smaller field MTTs with these larger fields to help "soften" the variance while still having chances at those large payouts.
