I've noticed that when I play in mid to large MTT's (my fav game) (ranging from 600 players to 1000+)

I seem to finish in the top 10% and lower, yet I can't seal the deal and find myself at a final table. I mean I can't pin point the reason, obviously I am doing something right to make it that deep into the tourny, but it seems that I take a bad beat and I am gone or something happens where I make the incorrect read, SOMETHING!

Without pulling my hair about this, maybe some of you gurus can offer some end game advice after the bubble has bursted and we're all in the money. I mean I am not lazy I've read numerous threads about this and applied it but still get the same results

some samples:
