Default Re: Party SNGs still tearing me apart

Other than the hand you flopped 3 Jacks, I didn't see any big errors on your part, and even that wasn't horrible.

This leads me to conclude that either your sample is too small and your results will improve, or you have a leak somewhere else.

Let's look at your stack sizes from when you went out in 4th or 5th...
775, 980, 770, 1550, 775, 1200

With 5 people, the average stack will be 1600. You didn't have that much in any example where you made it to the bubble (4th or 5th place). It's hard to steal blinds with 775 when the blinds are 100/200.

Once you are shortstacked with high blinds, even perfect play may not save you.

You need to look at how you got shortstacked in the first place. You always seem to go out with a very good hand....and that leads me to believe that you are waiting for very good hands. That's fine to a point, but you cannot let yourself get down to 775 and expect AK to save you.

Of course, I can't say exactly how to win a lot of chips, but you may want to look playing more aggressively sooner rather than later.
