3rd Set of a Hundred MTTs

So, I just finished my 300th tournament last night and I'm going to tally up what went down as I did the first 200.  During this set of 100 I started playing PokerStars along with Full Tilt.  PokerStars' tournament fields are significantly larger than Full Tilt, so my final table's will probably drop.
 
I played 64 tourneys on FTP and 36 on Stars.  I cashed in 40 of the 100 tournaments.  This is actually probably too high.  I need to be taking a few more shots that will bring my cash % down but my final table % up.  I had 5 final tables with two top 3's (no wins this 100 however).
 
I invested $305 into tourneys and cashed for $750 even.  $445 profit.
 
My goal from my last 100 MTTs for this set was to try to play my best game in every tourney.  I think I did this better than I had last 100 but this is an area that takes constant effort for anyone, and I am will continue to focus on this.  My goal for next 100 is to attack the late stages of the tournament better, and not get gun shy.  Last night I really blew a tourney because I didn't shove in a spot I knew I should of and it costed me.

Blew it.  28k with 600-1200 blinds.  I am in 5th of 10.  Button has bout same as me and raises to 4500 (strangely big but I didn't really know what to make of it) I have JJ in the BB.  Now with the size of his raise i was afraid to raise to like 12k and put nearly half my stack in so I just called (mistake).  Flop is T95 and I check to let him C-bet, he does, I shove, he calls with T9 and thats that.  If i reraise I know he is folding and I have 34k and am in 3rd with 10 to go.  Super Ultra Disapointed.

nothing special lost a big race on the bubble to be short stacked and then just waited for a hand to shove and lost.  happy with my bubble play that led to a race though...i think i get a fold from the guy in most situations and the race that i get the other 30% of the time is still not a bad result given the dead money that was in the pot and potential big stack..
