I am a very successful big multi player. I have final tabled in my last two on Full Tilt. But in my last 4 or 5 big multis I seem to always finish 8th or 9th. This is causing me to re-evalulate my final table play.

Any critique/discussion on this hand for example would be helpful.
I was massive chip leader at this point with 21 players remaining.

When I bet the flop, I had him on a medium pair and figured I was still ahead of the desperate all in from the player UTG. I didn't think he would flat call w QQ.
