You say you go out before you get to the money ?
WHich suggests that maybe you are going in far too often 
One the best poker players on the planet - Phill Helmut is notorious for not wanting to commit all his chips. He wants to see flops, make reads, and outplay his opponents. So follow the expert and try to see the flop more ! |

Thanks for the quick reply ! 
Yes as soon as I get an ace or pair I usually go all in. I will try that next time to try and see the flop instead and see how things go !
Thanks ! |

Hi Lucky
Heres some stuff on tournament play that you might find useful
Early stage
In the early stages of a tournament you usually have a lot of chips as compared to the stakes. Therefore, you can afford to wait for good hands before getting heavily involved in a pot. It is recommended that you play patient, solid poker and try to trap weaker players with weaker hands. You do not want to make any big gambles where you risk going broke. Hopefully you will get lucky and manage to accumulate chips so that you are able to continue playing in this manner.
Middle stage
Since the stakes are constantly rising, you can generally not afford to sit back and wait for premium hands before you make a move. And, because the blinds and antes now mean something for your stack, you have to open up your game and start picking up pots. Be sure to be the aggressor and take more risks. Remember that other players will usually play quite cautiously at this stage because of the higher risk of going broke. If they play tight you loosen up, and if they play loose you tighten up. At this stage, you should also have a greater understanding of how your opponents play. Use this information when making a decision. Knowing which opponents you can bluff and which ones are "calling stations" will greatly affect the way you play your hands against them. Remember that you goal is progressing into the late stage as one of the big stacks.
Late stage
If you have a big stack at this stage you have a huge advantage and you must capitalize. Only then can you afford to sit back and play a little more passively until you are close to the money. When you are only a few spots away, you should start making moves with your big stack, or even with a medium stack. Your opponents will fear going broke at this stage so you will have plenty of opportunities to steal pots. A very aggressive play is recommended and you should make sure you are the aggressor and not the caller. Avoid confrontations with big stacks and pick on the smaller stacks in order to avoid going broke.
If you have a small stack you want to make moves before you become so short stacked that you cannot avoid getting played with, regardless of what the other payers are holding. If you get a great hand, you should do what it takes to get action in order to double up. For example, slow playing hands that you would not normally risk going broke with. In this situation, it is important that you gamble more and take risks if you want a chance of winning the tournament; of course, you also run a greater risk of going broke. |

Heres a good online poker tip
Use players notes, okay so you already know about players notes
BUT ! Go to the final tables in tournaments and make a note next to all of the players ! That way if they crop up when your playing, you will know they are a good player as they have made it to the final tables before ! |
