Default Help w/ sng\'s

I have had trouble winning any kind of money on SNG's. I have played over 30, with one 1st, a third, and the rest out of the money. I have a really good knowledge of limit poker, I know odds, pot odds, implied odds, starting hands and the like, I just seem to either push at the wrong moments or get sucked out.
My question is, is anyone willing to allow me to watch them play some sng's with AIM to let me know what hands you have? That way I can get a feel for how one pushes, what cards they push with, when to steal, when to call all.

I have a good knowledge of the game, made some pretty good money at limit, just wanted to add the sng's to my game and have struggled. Thanks for any advice.

I am not counting out that there is some variance to it, but i am definitely new to this and I am sure i have made some big mistakes. Would just like to watch a succesful player and pick their brains.

I hope you find a party regular who will let you watch, but what you can do is get a few usernames of the most common posters (most have revealed themselves one way or another on here) and just follow them around behind the scenes to watch them.

Poker prophesy also does lists of the best ITM players for each level, im sure someone who has bought their product could give you a top 10 list for the best of these at your buy in (over a suitable no of games for statistical 'accuracy').

Following these guys and watching them play would be a fast track to getting better.

2 for 30 is a pretty tough start regardless of the statistical significants. certainly enough to leave you second guessing every hand you play - not fun. i don't know what steps you've taken in preperation for sng's...make sure you read through the basic strategy posts here. if 'pushing at the wrong moments' is a concern of yours, you'll notice that these situations comprise a good majority of the posts here....post yours! personally, i'm not opposed to seeing complete HH posts either. a check-up on your hand selections, PFr, etc. might offer a few quick 'fixes'.
