It's probably variance, I see enough donkey moves at the tables so I must have a skill edge.

I'm not sure how field size affects cash distribution.. I guess smaller fields mean lower ITM% and lower ROI. But does the variance increase too? Are 50-100 buy-in swings common at 1K+ fields?

I play mostly at Prima; the fields are usually only 100-200. Getting to the FT within 3 hours is fun though.

Well, it depends. I'm limping anything with potential at level 1/2. I'm raising AQ OOP only if it's a FO or a tight rebuy table. I think I play the first levels reasonably well (essentially counterplay vs. the donkeys).
Anyway, I'm not really worried if I can beat MTT's or not, it's just that it seems a waste of time to play them compared to cashgames (higher hourly rate, lower variance). So maybe I should quit playing them regularly (just a few fun tourneys a week, qualifiers etc).
