Having more chips is good, getting lucky is better. Even skilled players need a lot of luck to come out on top in any single tournament, even after making a FT where stacks are short and it's about winning flips. (If you gii for 20BB KK vs AQs, that is not a flip per se, but what is a flip is whether you have the KK or the AQs, since both are clear shoves.)
If you said you'd played 1000 180-man SnG, cashed 150 times, made 50 FT, and had no 1st, we'd have some data to work with.
I was playing $1.5 rebuyaddon tourney was down nearly to FT, I was in utg+1 with AKo, utg shove I shove bb called with AQ
KT vs AK vs AQ
KT ****ing held with trip tens, and bb with AQ two pair
I was ****ing tilting so close to ft if i win that I will have more than 30bb
