I'm thinking you might have too small a roll for $5 SNG. I think the standard roll for SNG is 50-100 entries for the limit you want to play. If I was you I'd look into some of the sites that offer $.75-$2 SNGs, Party/Empire does not have SNGs below $5. royal vegas comes to mind they have SNGs as low as $.75 and a deposit bonus. The SNGs there are pretty loose with the low buy-in. check out www.bonuswhores.com for a listing of what games, bonuses and a general idea of the difficulty of the games. You will also want to signup to sites using a rake back service, they don't always pay on STT/MTT, but once you open an account at a poker site you can't set it up later. Also I have been checking out the freerolls on bonus whores and placed a few times ITM(in the money), free money and play against 2k+ people will help you hone your skills and it's free. I think in the SNG Faq there is a link to a free SNG stat analysis program, this can tell you how good you are really doing over all on SNGs and the price is right.
