OK, so I decided to play my first MTT. It had 1600 players, 10 to a table. I was playing tight, and the rare hands I did play I won big on, knocking a person out each time so I had a way above average stack. Then this run happened, indispersed with folding absolute crap like 27o:

So, what did I do wrong? Also, does anyone know of a PT3 hand converter website which can convert hands for MTTs?

1st hand, I shove flop

2nd is fine, i may 3bet OR pre

3rd, raise more pre

4th is standard

So generally unlucky, but mostly not raising enough?

I mainly bet 3x preflop. Is this not enough? I do wonder if it would make a difference at these stakes?

Here's my stats for the MTT. For a first MTT as a relative poker n00b how am I looking? (Please do rip me apart and let me know what I'm doing wrong)

those stats are meaningless in a MTT. There are so many different variables in tournaments: structure, stack sizes, table dynamics etc.

Damnit. So how do I identify any problems?

post hands, reply to other HH's, discuss hands with others. Here's some info that will def. help you:TwoRags.com - Bond18 - Things it took me a while to learn. The Complete Series

Well, the hands I won I won OK, I think. All the other hands are above ^
I'll definitely check out that link though. Thanks.

Oh, P.S. I just came second in a very long STT SNG I may eventually get the hang of tournaments.

i think the one of the most important thing in tourneys is to learn how to play/play against all the different stack sizes
