Re: confidence shot by bad beats - what to do?
[ QUOTE ]
After finishing in the money 40% of the time in my first 40 SNG's I haven't had a top 3 for 8 SNG's now. Been busted or crippled by people calling all in with draws/nothing and catching miracles. Feeling like I am turning into a calling station, which sucks. I know bad beats are part of the game but a week straight, how do you recover? Bank roll is taking a beating. I've even moved down in buy-in's.

This is nothing unusual and your best remedy is simply to get used to it and accept the idea that every time you get drawn out on, you've made $EV... it just happens to be on loan at the moment.
Your bankroll needs to be able to absorb such swings. It sounds as if you may be underbankrolled but you haven't discussed any $ figures. If 8 losses in a row is straining your bankroll, you are probably playing way out of range.
