Hey guys... just recently switched over to SNG's from limit cash games... and wow i'm finding i'm actually having fun again!

OK... quick question... i was reading somewhere on here how we're supposed to go for first and settle for 2nd... but for some reason i can't seem to win many firsts for the life of me... seems i usually just die in 3rd or get smoked heads up for 2nd...

can anyone take a quick look at my "finish" distribution and see if anything stands out?

i understand this is kinda vague... but i'm gonna play a lot more b4 i get a real feeling of what is or isn't right...

right now i'm running at 32.4 ROI (pretty good i think... smple size sucks though) and ITM 46.7% avg finish 4.1

Finish distribution is as follows:
1 - 10.87%
2 - 19.57%
3 - 16
4 - 16
5 - 7.61
6 - 13
7-10 - 16%

is this too many bubble bustouts?... how bout 2nds?...

oh.. this is over 200 tourneys (i realize sample size isn't great... but i'm just looking for general hints or anything here... )

Oops forgot to mention this is the 11's

thanks in advance

Only one thing stands out.

Sample size: 200 tourneys

I think you know where I'm going with this. Without any hands, no one is going to be able to tell you anything.

i'm not sure myself to be honest. but yeah, 500 would be much better. The only thing you can do right now is post hands, especially bubble ones. Those are big.
