It`s the nature of MTTs.
 
To reach the money in an average MTT, where the top 10 percent get paid, you`re going to have to increase your chip stack to at least 5 or 6 times your starting stack, 10 times would be better.  
 
Some of this can be done by winning smaller pots but, realistically, you need to win at least 3 all-ins.
 
I try never to get involved in an allin unless I`m a 70/30 favourite and I`m happy to say that, when the cards go down, it`s rare that I`ve made a bad call and find myself underdog.  However, even if I judge it right every time, that still means I`m going out nearly one time in 3.
 
So, if I expect to play 3 all-ins and expect to lose one in three, it follows that my expected result is ......... knocked out !  :( 
 
Basically, you need to be both play well AND be lucky to do well in any particular MTT.  That`s the bad news.
 
The good news is - if you play a lot of them and you are a sound player you can have a realistic expectation of winning long term. The luck evens out.
