It seems that every time I get close to making the money, I really tighten up and either bust out on the bubble, or make it into the first money bracket.
It is really getting frustrating as I desperately want to make it to at least the final table.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,

flop comes, J 6 3 rainbow. I move in , he calls my 3800, with Q6,
turn comes 6,
river comes Q
ouch!
Anyways the point of this post was to find out if I should not worry so much about making the money, but puting myself in a position to get to the final table?
just my 2 cents
hope it helps

if im near the middle of the pack, i will play almost nothing, and fold my BB to min raises.
i refuse to let all that time invested negated by a bad beat
once im in the money i go back to my original style
shortstacked, if it seems like you will get blinded out of the money, you must make an all in move IMO - preferably in late position, with the hopes of stealing the blinds
its about not losing chips at this point, not winning the tourney
