bankroll management 101, are you playing above your bankroll?
Maybe you don't feel comfortable because 10x the money is on the line. I guess you need to stop focusing on the money at stake and just play good solid poker. A trick I have is when I am in a tourney, I never look at the payouts EVER because regardless 1st will pay the most and why do I need to worry about bubble spots if I know solid ICM game on final table & FT bubble. Like on PS, all the tourney information I need is in the top left of the Tourney ID Box, so I can easily hide all the info to the right from my screen. The biggest importance is the blind levels, average and my position will fluctuate regardless. I don't need to worry about how my stack compared to the chip leaders, but rather what is happening at my table.
Isn't everything beatable on PartyPoker?! I also have +ROI in the $1+ buy-ins, but I have -ROI in the $200+ MTTs that I freeroll to via satellites.
As phillivey has mentioned before, one of the problems with Party is the higher rake structure. For example, the regular $11, $22, $33, $44 and $55 MTT/SNGs surprisingly do not have decreasing rake, but have the same relatively high rake of 9.1%. Along with the $6 games with 17% rake and $3 games with obscene 20% rake, I avoid these games and look for MTTs with lower rake. Anyway, if you can beat the rake at the $11 games, take a shot at the higher buy-ins.
