The early stages seem to be my strength for some reason.

What works for me is playing position poker.  It's rudimentary, I know, but the importance of position cannot be overstated (imho).

A weak A in early position is folded, but playable on the button.  Same thing with small pairs and suited connectors.

This has worked well for me, but you have to consciously monitor your play and adapt to the table.

If you have not done so already, read up on Sklansky Groups.

One other change I made that helped, is that I no longer click "check/fold" when holding a weak hand in the BB.  I found that I was folding to a lot of min raises, when pot odds proved beneficial to call.  You get three limpers and one min raise from the button, your getting probably 10-1 odds for the flop, and better implied odds if you hit & the raiser makes a continuation bet.

This has been effective for me, in the first hour of tourneys, but after that, your unlikely to see many 5 player flops and at that point, min raises represent a greater portion of your stack.

I hope that helps.

Read up on the game, try various strategies and never be afraid to change gears; The last thing you want is to be predicable.
