I wonder what you more intelligent poker minds have to say about this weird stat that I can't put reason to. I realize I have only played in 300 11sng's so far, but it is still perplexing me...

300 T's

50 - 1st
48 - 2nd
38 - 3rd
18 - 4th
52 - 5th
26 - 6th
26 - 7th
18 - 8th
18 - 9th
6 - 10th



My question is, why is 4th place so low and 5th place so high. Is this a leak in my game? Im just confused by it and will enjoy any comments...

peace

4th place is so low and 5th place is so high because you finished more tournaments in 5th place than 4th place.

Perhaps you're playing too loose in the beginning. If so, you'd have a greater chance of being the first out. And if you're playing loose when you hit a monster you'd have a much lower chance of finishing 4th (from doubling up while making someone else finish 5th).

Don't blame us for the bad responses to your unedited post.

Now that you have fixed it.

It is very normal to have a dip in 4th place. If you have a huge dip in 4th AND a lot more 3rds than 1st or 2nds AND you aren't winning very much or at all - then you should worry that you are not being aggressive enough leading up to and on the bubble.

Also, you haven't played enough tournaments to be confident about what your distribution means.

My previous response was assuming 5 person SNGs. Next time try to be accurate in your original post if you want useful responses, thanks.
