Well, I have a thought about the finish distribution. It probably caused by a player having excellent preflop skills, especially at high blind levels, and less highly-developed postflop skills. The player isn't able to fully exploit the early levels enough to keep up with the LAG's who get lucky early on, and thus hits the later levels with a chip disadvantage more often than not. The high-blind pushbotting may not give enough of an edge to make up for that, even if played perfectly. I have the same finish trends, so I'm interested in what causes it.
