    It's certainly not pointless. I kept FT'ing for ages without actually winning a tourney and it's very very frustrating. You know you're good enough but it doesn't happen. But it will. I'm embarrassed to say how I won my first but here goes.....it was on william hill and the guy I was H2H with got disconnected. I had him about 60/40 on chips and even though I let the cards fold waiting for him to re-connect he didn't and by virtue of the blinds and my bigger stack I won it. It was enough though and I went from strength to strength.

    Sometimes the need to win it makes you blind to the other guys hand and so dipping too soon is something to overcome. I posted some tactical notes of Wardonkey on the area 51 section and although Wardonkey is an stt specialist his advice is very applicable to final table play in an mtt. Have a read of them they might help.

    Eagle, it's not pointless, in fact it's the opposite,, its a good point !! Very well done on cashing and 4 final tables these last few months.
    The point being is once your at the final table of an  online tournament usually the blinds have overtaken your options , your either  all-in or passing and given that your then in   what would be a possible  50/50 race !!

    This is where the luck element comes  in to play much more .. To win tournaments you need your big hands to hold up and  your 50/50s to go your way ....It will happen , you just need the poker fairy to sit with you till the end !!

    Good point Benny, nobody ever won a tournament without a healthy dose of luck.

    I had final tables on the big Sky tournies a bunch of times, and finally won the Wednesday night Bounty Hunter a couple of weeks ago.

    If you are getting that deep on a regular basis then it will come in the end.  You just haven't had that bit of luck yet.  I'm sure when you river a FH vs some poor guys nut flush you wont really be that bothered when you take down the £1kplus payday!

    when I saw the "Jimmy White of the poker world" headline i thought you were admitting to being a borderline alcoholic and struggling with male pattern boldness. My bad, I stand corrected

    Are you capable of all night benders drinking guiness and vodka and playing Kaluki on the nights before the most important days of your career?
