POKER – Multi-desk Tournaments tips?

POKER – Multi-table Tournaments advice?
Ive been playin for about 5 years and have studied theory like a degree and seen alot of hands. I grind out a good profit on sit n go’s and cash game but every tournament (9 seater) seems like im playing holdem in an omaha game. eg. I just played one played about 20 flops without hitting (at all) Got JJ, riase before me, i call , one other caller, flop 249. Caller go’s all in, Pre-raiser moves all in, i fold, raisers kings win. Then i raise AJ on button, 2 callers, raggy flop i bet half pot to be met by raise, i fold, pair wins. I then try stealing with position and they hit and let me know about it every time, My stacks now down 2/3 blinds get big and get QQ, all folds to my small blind, i call $ 100, big blind calls, flop 269, he raises 300, i go all in, he shows 96. Im giving examples because this happens every time with the same hopelesness, so it cant be bad luck, what am i doing wrong? Ive read all the top books including harrington 1,2,and 3 and still i feel im doing something wrong. Any advice or great books you can recommend for tournys will be much appreciated.

It all comes down to outwitting your opponents and your “poker face”. Guessing and instincts are key. Anyone with pocket J’s, Q’s, K’s or A’s will bet aggressively as they should. In poker anything can happen and lousy flops, turns and rivers are a variable which can’t be ascertained. Don’t worry. I’ve had my share of bad streaks. The last bad streak I had lasted 3 years! I recently broke it. You can only sharpen your skills by playing. Try playing free, online games to practice and sharpen them. MSN free games is pretty good.
