    So for the past 100 SNGs on stars, I've broken even. I'm around 15% ROI (2000 sngs played) and usually 9 table.

    It's funny... I play sets of 16 SNGs and each set, I've broken even (6 sets total).

    I assume the Stars players have not gotten tougher. So I'm guessing it's just my bad luck. I 8don't think I'm playing badly (i.e. my bubble play is any other SNG), but over the last 100, I've noticed people calling with much worse cards than before (Ax, Kx, *Qx*, *Jx*). Usually when they call, they do it with face cards only, PP, or Ax.

    Whenever I'm running cold, I'm usually breaking even. It does happen, and sometimes it can last for weeks, maybe even a couple of months (depending on how much you play). It's frustrating to put the time in and not have anything to show for it except a few more sng's to add to your sample size, but I would rather be breaking even when I'm running cold than losing.

    Hope it turns around for you. : )

    Ive also been breaking even lately....sharkscope went from calling me a shark to just being a winning player, I cant really complain though since winning is winning, right? Keep playing your game, and eventually variance will go in your favor. 77 vs. QK might lose consistently this week, but next week when you continue putting your money in good, your stack will keep growing and so will your bankroll. Dont lose confidence, and DONT GO ON TILT, those are my words of advice.

    Just came back from a 100 game break even streak myself. Try a different site or start playing cash games for a little while. When you comeback to SNGs your game will be ust like it was.

    I love albatross. Someone called my KK push the other day with T5o on the bubble.
