Only one solution, play more frequently... it will come... try to play lower field tournament as it's the kind of tournament you can easily win when you have a good chip counts..., be lucky indeed

I sound just like you a year ago before I started winning tourneys the keys for me are....be patient....it will come playing the right cards the right way at the right times is hard to do,but if you can master that and get better the wins will come my biggest win was the $1500 grt rebuy tourney on boss network...430 euros, after cashing out 350 euros or $526.00 canadain so it waits to be PATIENT, and if you get a bad beat don't get 2 tilted, it will throw every thing off, so just keep trying,IT WILL HAPPEN..... ..... Oh yeah forgot to mention I owe a lot to the full tilt poker academy I learned how to play those cards better,at the right times,from them good learning.......

You have to be a patient if ace been near winning and in the final table it means that these near achieving it, this way that it, continues trying it, a greating, and good luck.

How is your chipstack compared to the other stacks at the final table? Are you often the player with a bigger than average stack, or do you just make it to the final table?

it's nice that you have being in final tables sometimes , don't think that it is that easy to win a tour... need patience , skill , luck and a bluff once in a while but it will come one day

So at least you have been in the money a lot? That's more then a lot of other players can say If you are good enough to reach final table in BIG tournaments, you WILL be good enough to win a few in the future. But rememder, only 1 can have 1st place at a time
Online I won a little tornament in fulltilt, 90$, in 2 years of play poker. Final table? A lot of time. I win some little tourney live. I didnt play a lot tournament because is very difficult to win and the lucky is fondamental. Important is: cross your fingers and no fair in crucial moment.
What do you meanfor big tournament? How many players? What's about prize pool? I think none of us has yet won a tournament with a prize pool of 10.000 $ or more....

In order to win in a tourney, you must be patient. Play tight, if you don"t have the good cards and play aggressive, if you got monster hands. Keep on practising and with some luck you will win your first tourney in the days to come. Good luck and see you at the tables.
