Default Losing my confidence but know better

Just finished a 100 block of SNG's -15% ROI my first negative out of 7 blocks (that is how I rate myself per hundred). I know part of the game and just have to ride it out just sucks when you have negative ROI over a hundred.

What level? What distribution of 1st, 2nd, 3rds?

A good reason not to plan where you are spending future profits. Cause sometimes, man, the stars just align.

Good luck on the next 100.

On a similar note, my last 100 has gotten me 7 1sts, 10 2nds, and 12 3rds, ITM of 29%. What do you think of those #s? Just a bad luck run? It also coincided with my move up to $30s, although this is not my first block of 100 from the $30s.

I suppose you can infer that the $33s are less profitable on a %ROI basis. But you DID know that already, on some level.

Its probably half that, and half bad luck run. Or, perhaps more accurately, a lack of a "good cards" run. THose happen too.

Thanks it is a mix of 22's and 33's I know part of the game but a negative ROI for 100 is hard to swallow.
