Online - going deep

So I am going deep in online tournaments again but not having the luck to make the3 final table. I spent 2 hours lasr night examining how I am playing the end part of the tournament and noticed several leaks where I did not press or bet enough.

So I am finishing 90th out of 2000, or 55th out of 1300, or even 8th out of 90. I know my early play is ok and I am surviving nicely to give me a chance of a big win. I just need to work on my end game somewhat to maximize how I gain chips.

Funny enough, when I do get busted I am almost always ahead. I was always uite proud of this but now I am thinking it means I am playing too tight at the end. I should be calling down with 2 picture cards and playing aggressively with A-rag....even if it seems wrong. I am putting too much emphasis on survival at the end instead of chipping up.

Also I noticed in the endgame I am still betting 2.1x or 2.5x the BB whereas the guys who are winning the smaller tournaments (aka low-cost) are betting 3x or 3.5x so I may try this to see how it affects my results.
