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?

Dude, you could play 1,000 sngs and run bad and have a ton of bubbles and play solid at the same time. Short term results don't mean anything, just concentrate on how good you're playing/

20%+ ROI... looks good to me. I play 99% SNG's and do very well in them. Yes, it is only the 20$ level, but I still have an ROI of close to 30% with several thousand tournaments logged. I found that my best SNG strategy is to play to get in the top 3. Once I get into the top 3, that's when I go for the win. When you play SNG's, a 3rd place finish basically double's your buy-in and 200% profit is a nice win. Some people probably won't agree with this style, but it has worked wonders for me. Give it a shot, but your stat's are definitly fine!

Actually I think most SNG players would agree with the previous post. Make the money and go from there.

Your goal should be to make the best decision on every hand, not to get ITM and then go crazy.

Come sweat at me on Dise I play $50 and $100 sng's and my wp% is 40. Unlike the cash proponent above sng's are very profitable. Come find me if you want experienced help. GL.
