Default MTT swings kills me

I can consider myself professional tourney player.
So i play only overlay tourneys(so i consider my ROI 30%+)
But last summer,it seems to me i cant handle anymore variatsion.I play MTT 500+players usually.
I have played few hundred tourneys and no final table(meens no money).Sometimes i am chipleader 30 left and my luckybox dont work anymore and im out.Sometimes i have no luck,sometimes i do some mistakes.And it makes me crazy when month after month no hitting in the prizepool.
But is there some tourney Pros.How can u handle variatsion?

First off, WTF is variatsion???

Second, you obviously don't have what it takes to win donkaments.

Third, my ROI is 190%+...I am professional donkament player, not you.

Last, quit poker forever.

Variatsion is obv. his attempt at the word 'variance', and since he's a non-native English speaker it isn't hard to figure out.

maletaja: I've got nothing for you other than read books and keep trying to improve your game.

MTTs are notorious for wild variance swings.

If you only play overlays then that does not directly relate to ROI - only EV.

My ROI is 94% and I suck hard. Very hard indeed.

Are you idiot?Of course i know the word "variance".And your 190% ROI is [censored].Noone can manage that without huge overlay.
My goal is to pay attention to the MTT variance.You can play hundreds of MTT-s and no final table.

didn't you say you have a total winnings of 5200? how does this make you professional? and how can you estimate real variance if you have only played like 7 months total?

Nanamar,

You should try responding in OP's native language without any mistakes.
