When you are first starting SNGs, make a point to study AT LEAST as many hours as you play. By studying, I mean: <ul type="square">[*]Reading the FAQ[*]Learning every bubble situation with SNGPT[*]Pouring over the archives and absorbing all the wisdom and knowledge you can from posters like Irieguy, Unarmed, Raptor, Curtains, etc[*]Actively participating in forum discussions[*]*occasionally* posting a hand that you are completely stumped on[/list]Do this and 6-12 months from now you will probably be approaching the earn you had at $10/20sh, but with FAR less variance.
