Again 2 unlucky hands, but that's part of the game I'm afraid.
The variance in those huge field MTT's are a lot higher if you compare it with MTT's with less players in it.

We have too many times unlucky, how can something win good with this sharade? Too hard on one/two tournaments don't get unlucky hands and take high place on tournament. And with small hands when we get action we must win with strong hands. Luckers has too many winning total in history games.

2 unlucky hands indeed. First hand It's bad for villain to limp/call with JTs.
2nd hand I would most likely call a 6bb shove with KTs as well from the CO.
Variance sucks that's for sure. Play some smaller field tourneys with good structures to lower variance

That sounds like a good idea for sure 
Exclusive limper must win with this * he can't fold so I push here:

Variance is **
Nasty outcome, but well played. At the micro's this will happen often. On long term this would work well against villains like that.
Thanks GGPoker for promote this fish again easy fold with weak KTo should be but not and must get lucky. For me on last ten times only one I win coin flip but fish very often must get lucky!
It look like on micro Stakes mtt , the preflop play is more important Than postflop play. You put it in so often ahead .
And often I lose preflop when I have ahead so I disagree with sentence that good if we play with this players. No because on microstakes mtt enough one hand like ahead and we go out. To get good prize pool we must win every this hand. If we don't get enough value hands we must take coin flip in one moment. So on ggp player like here with this KTo win 3k $ or more I only 300$ (play something beetwen 500-600 tournaments on microstakes, 20-22% times in money total).
Indeed. Most of the time it's around 19% if I'm right, but not played to many MTT's the last couple of years.
The QQ hand is a easy stack off and the call with KTo is pretty loose.
And for what that good percent when more of this is small prize. For example when I win ticket to 109$ tournament and I win 75$ from bounty how many tournaments I must play to win this profit? In total on the worst poker room I have 200$ profit (prize - entries). Must play some beetwen 150-200 tournaments!!! If I try play good it will consequence that I have more good decision than bad and more. And again unlucky spot when I got trips on turn and Russian call big bet on paired board with nut flush draw (should fold this!) and get fuc****** lucky flush on the river!!! No reason to defend lucky limpers/fishes!!!!
Player which win on second hand three times win with worse hand on all in preflop and build big stack, I lose two hands when I am favourite and go out that is sad reality micro tournaments, unfair game and very hard to make profit.

If you want to kill the variance you need to play way more than 200 tournaments. It's at least 2k and even that is low I think.

This is example and everybody knows how long must Play tournaments and after two-three hours game when You got finally to stage in the money, prizes are very small and must get good run/hands for the next two-three hours to get on final table.
Main points is more profit is on microstakes cash games than tournaments.
How long must play 2k tournaments on microstakes and how profit can het on microstakes cash games from this time total.
I think there are more money in tournaments than cash games. You need more standing in tournamnets

On microstakes in the same time if You Play for example 1k hours tournaments and 1k hours cash games You have better results on second option. And on cash games there is no very high variance than tournaments.
Some hands from today
And example from last tournament, have 10bb push all in preflop with 88 and must get call by better hand
Again bad runnout because call from better hands must lose, call by worse hand, opponents get often lucky. Too hard get some good value hands on tournaments (can't only bluff on microstakes!)
