Default I am ten feet tall, bulletproof and invisible...

At least that is what I must be thinking recently when I play an MTT. A while back I would just wait for decent hands, I only ever went as far as the cards took me. Sometimes that was to the final table, but mostly not even to the money.

A few months ago I started to finall learn to actually play a few more hands early, when to steal some blinds, when I was short enough to shove and actually when to take a stab at bluffing a pot or two.

Recently I think I must feel as though I should win every pot I get in, and that I have to steal anytime it is folded to me, that I can never limp into a pot, and everyone should fold to every bluff I make.

That's not to say I haven't made the right play here and there just to run into a big hand (stealing blinds with A10 on the button and it's folded to me only to run into KK).

It's seems like I have lost all patience and want to take down the entire tourney in 25 hands.

I need help. Is there a decent MTT coach out there that could help? Somewhere in between what I was doing and what I am doing has to be a decent strategy for MTT success, I just can't keep from going to one extreme or the other.
