Next time you play a tournament calculate your equity every single time you are all in.
E.g.
You go all in with AK vs AT and win - you had 75% equity here
Then you go all in with 55 and double up against A8 - you had 55% equity here.
Next all in you have AK and lose to K9 with 75% equity and go out
Instaed of coming and posting OMG RIGGED fish called with K9 etc. remember that actually you are only going to win all 3 of those hands 30% of the time (.75 x .55 x .75) so getting bust is standard, and had you of won all 3 you'd have been lucky.
Given you will need to basically double your chipstack 7 times to win even just a 128 man tournament, you realise you will need to be very lucky, decide tournaments are gay and decide to play cash instead.

So basically the FTOP Main Event I satellited my way into will be a waste of time, because it will have about 3600 people.  But I'm a rabbit in chinese astrology, and they are lucky so
