I know i keep saying this and i am mostly ignored but I think never coming in last like that is a cause of concern.

I'm sure you're right to some extent. But at the 20+2s, I'm almost positive that having more than a few last places is a much bigger cause for concern. Higher the buyin, more willing you should be to gamble early, and thus risk busting early.

No. Incorrect thinking. You should never "gamble" at any buyin (and by gamble, I mean take coinflips), if you feel you have a significant edge over your competition. This is true at the $6 sngs, and is true at the $5000 sngs.

You're taking "gamble" too seriously. I meant you should be less afraid of getting involved in big pots early. This means taking advantage of smaller edges, and using your control over your opponents to an advantage.

Re: FINAL UPDATE
 

Looks like you had a meltdown - your stats looked like a
decent 20 player but nothing spectacular, and you jumped up into the 50s which are a very different ballgame. Hope you still come out ahead bud. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: FINAL UPDATE
 

Thanks, I think. And by the way. I did finish ahead as I posted the final update hahahah
