I'd like to try to improve WAY before I play 500 SnG's!!!

[/ QUOTE ]Teh issue isn't your improvement. The issue is the relevance of statistics at a small level. I'll put it this way: I recently downloaded the infamous SNG Spreadsheet and started tracking my games. I happened to win the first one I played. If I posted about my 361% ROI figure, I would be mocked. Or beaten. Yeah, probably the latter.

Any numbers are bound to fluctuate. You have to have a significant sample size before you can take anything meaningful from stats.

You don't have to play 500 SNGs before you get better. You can play your second SNg better than your first and move from there - it's just silly took look at stats.

So what do you look at? Hands.

Post individual hands that were critical in a tournament. Critical to your winning or losing. Allow the people here to either praise or bury your play. They will tell you what you did right and wrong and once in a while, they'll even tell you why those decisions were right or wrong if you ask nicely.

Learn from every hand you play to get better. Stats don't mean crap until you've done enough to have definitive patterns in the stats.

Another thing: Grow thicker skin.

Finally, I shall contradict what I said by making one evaluation on the stats: You are seeing way too many flops. While it is possible that you are just getting amazing cards and the good fortine to be in unraised pots in the blinds constantly, more likely you're doing what every newbie does - fishing and trying to see flops. Every time your weak Ace caught two pairs and won a big hand reenforced this behavior, no doubt, but such luck runs out.

Simply put: If those stats are a good reflection of your play given the usual mixture of good hands and bad, then you will lose money by the time you get to 500 SNGs.

Good luck.
