While the results may not be there, hats off to you for being able to suck it up and soldier on in the land of SnG variance. I have a hard enough time dealing with cash game variance, much less what people go through who focus on SnGs and MTTs.
That's kind of funny because I got out of cash game for a month due to the variance. I thought I was more consistent at my NL tourney play. So I guess the point is variance is variance. It's going to have to be dealt with no matter what you play.
Man, I agree with you there. I started focusing on SnGs because they were always my shining beacon when the variance of the cash games was kicking my ass. So what happens when I started doing them exclusively? Variance city.
Hang in there man, I know exactly what you're going through, right now it feels like an uphill climb to me as well.
Chin up and look sharp, because a couple of those losses seem unescapable. Let me suggest, though, that you change up you game again. It can keep things fresh and interesting, which may hold your attention more and help you focus. Try some ring games and SNGs mixed up a bit.
I've been in the SNG challenge, and hovering about even. Just prior to that, I was doing only limit poker and was winning steadily until I hit a wall and started losing. Now, during my SNG Challenge, I went back to limit for a bit, and as a result, I'm up a snot loads in the limit game. My SNG hasn't gone up yet, but I'm hoping that shaking things up will help.
