I've been playing online with some success at small stakes for about 2 years, up to 3/6, and have recently started 6 max 1/2 on PEP, and up to 2/4 on Crypto, doing good so far, but still wait and see.
I've now done 4 5+1 and 18 10+1 SnGs on PEP, had a good run to start, but have only 1 money in the last 10 (1st).
Numbers are
Buy-in $222 Net $78 ROI 35%
7 in the money, all 1st. Avg finish 3.95.
I realize 22 tourneys are a small sample, but I seem to have a problem on the bubble. Below are 5 hands which are typical of my exits most of the time. I feel uncertain when it gets down to the last 4 or 5, but very comfortable about what to do early and when in the money. Either I'm running bad on the bubble, or have a major leak at this point. Please feel free to flame or whatever, really need some input on my late play. Thanks
