Two observations just based on what I'm seeing and your results.
1) You've had a lot of bad luck. When I looked at my own results lately, I was crushing SnGs, and the reason was because the suckouts weren't killing me, i.e. they were short stacks, or they didn't happen at all.
That's it. I wasn't getting sucked out on.
In the 45-person ones, however, I haven't cashed in eight times.
Each time I was knocked out, I was an 80 percent favorite to win.
You're also ITM almost 40 percent of the time, which is pretty good.
2) You're probably playing them much like me, meaning you are playing tight. The reason I say that is you are placing 4th and 3rd a whole lot. So you probably outlasted the donkeys but didn't make any real moves to accumulate chips and so you didn't have much to work with when it came money time.
Not a bad way to play certainly - I've won a lot of money on SnGs that way - but you might consider stealing a bit more to get you a few more chips when it matters at the end.
I'm re-tooling my game a bit by playing $5.50 SnGs again on Full Tilt just so I can ramp up my aggression a little bit. You might consider the same.
Thanks for the comments PP. While it is true that I am rarely the chip leader when it gets down to 4 as there are some people that just hit it big; but typically I am second or so (not to say that some games I am short when it gets down to bubble time).
It's just getting down to it where I believe I am making the right moves; but just coming out on the wrong side of it.
One thing for sure that I will be looking to is my play when I do reach the magic M of 10 or less even though there are 5 or more players. That is, like you say, maybe a time that I need to pick up some aggression.
The SNG videos on donkit are really good, especially newt's latest video. Honestly, watching some of these made me realize how much better the really good players are then me.
If you want to see a short demo of a particular video just let me know. Also, i'll be happy to send you a free one for an (honest) review on your blog.
