alarming trend through my first 150 sng\'s
 

I'm playing the party 33's if it matters...anyways..

My highest percent finish is 1st. Very close behind that though is 6th. To me this indicates that I may being too aggressive, and not patient(sp?) enough when i have a medium chip stack around level 4.

What do yall think about this?

I'm the same way. And I'm basically crushing the $55s. It's normal I think.

Its impossible to be too agressive with a medium stack in Level 4, unless you are literally pushing with any two. Probably just low sample size, as all. It will even out in time.

My largest finishing place is 5th, with 15.6% of my games occuring at that position. This is after 2236 games.

im worried today my avg. finish was 10th, my ROI -100 and my ITM 0.

Firstly, 150 SnGs is too small to draw firm conclusions on this kind of matter.

Remember the payout structure is 50/30/20

So if you finish 1st 20 of them time and never 2/3 it is the same as 0/10/10. So, you should be looking to be aggresive and get in first place. A big leak for some people is playing too tight around the bubble and hence squeaking a lot of 3rd places and a high ITM%, but this game is about making money, not making the money.

Read the quoted part of this post. I think it may apply here.

Re: alarming trend through my first 150 sng\'s
 

I have the same sort of distribution over my first 100. There's a recent thread on here with more details. But I'm not sure if it's good / bad / standard / something to be worried about.

Most people suggest you should wait till level 4 to start stealing, and during levels 1-3 you should stick to QQ-AA, AK.
(I include JJ/AQs, but posters here feel that is too loose) With parties blind structure you are often blinded more then 3 times before reaching level 4. Its normal to have severals players lose their entire stacks on lvl 1-2.
Level 4 finally comes around and your the short stack with ~600 chips and 2-3 players have 1200+.

You start pushing and can expect to get called from time to time & lose, and that is why 5/6/7 will have a very high finish %. Its not that important because if your able to steal a couple blinds or double up your in great shape to finish ITM. The guys playing crap lvl 1 are the same people you need to beat on the bubble and finish first. Easy if you can get there. Infact making it to the 4-handed stage with a decent stack is WAY harder then going from the bubble to first.

I doubt any winning player on here has ever said playing JJ in level 1-3 is too loose.
