So ive been playing the single table $5 SNG's on Stars for about 2 weeks now. Ive only logged in 79 so far, so i know its a small sample size. But my problem is I seem to get a lot of 3rd's and 4th's.
I try to accumulate chips to that I can have a lead going into heads up, but I have just been getting unlucky around those times. For example, I just finished one a little today. It was 3-handed and I had 10K+, other two had 700 and 2.5K (no exageration). I ended up getting knocked out in 3rd by the guy that had 700 going inot 3-handed play.
My question is... will the unluckyness (probably not a word), work itself out? Here are my stats so far to show you how I am doing. I feel like I should be putting up better numbers, or are these fine?

Stats look fine, don't worry about it.

20% is a pretty good ROI, although I think in the end you could beat the $5.50's for 30%, but just keep chugging, if you won the next three in a row, you wouldn't be asking this question. gl

This is not a problem. 79 sngs... I could do that many in 5 seconds.

If you are reaching lottery time consistently (final 4) then you are doing well outlasting the donks. Have to play tight early and hyperaggressive late. Appears you know this as you have good WP% & good ROI. Better play/tighter play at higher $ levels so continue to build your bankroll before you move up. GL.

Dont listen to Jeff. Keep up the hard work man. Grinding SNGs isnt always fun but its pretty stable income for me and thats a huge plus! Wish you all the luck

Yeah, the sample size isn't large enough to worry about statistics yet, in my opinion. You'll be fine.

I'm not sure why people play sngs for profit .
Yes it can be profitable but it's played mostly for fun .
Cash games is where the money is at .

"Contact jennifear, I hear thats the latest fad."
Don't know if it's a fad or not, but I'll just say this. Had my first SNG session with Jen last night, and it was paid for by the first SNG:-) I dunno, maybe I was just that bad to begin with, but I learned a ton last night. It's all stuff I had likely read in a book, but it sticks better when I'm able to see it applied live. Jen is very good at explaining moves/strategy on the fly. Highly recommend her for helping what ails your SNG game. (In my case, it was applying a can of WD-40 to my tight **s to loosen it up) LOL.

i just suck at cash games... i would be the guy sitting at the table helping you make a profit. And im not playing for an income. Just a way to play and get better and move up levels, without loosing money.

Your question may be a little to vague. If you want to make some real progress you should consider posting the hand in which the 700stack doubled up (presuming you were the one through whom he doubled) or possibly a few other key hands in the tourneys you finished third and fourth. I think its correct to say that so much of it is situational that without seeing this info any advice would be non-specific and not truly helpfull?
