Default when will this run end?????

I could cry! Or shoot myself!

I am having such a bad run of cards. I'm still very new to SNGs having played just 48. I'm at Pokerstars playing the $5 single tables.

After the first 20 or so I was in the money about 45% of the time, and had made about $60 (about an ROI of 33% I seem to remember). My last 13 results however have been as folows (most recent first):
5, 8, 4, 3, 6, 6, 7, 5, 2, 6, 7, 7, 6.

Is this kind of thing normal in SNGs? I don't have much bankroll left, but don't want to stop playing them - they're so much more fun than ring games.

Yes, I've made a couple of ridiculous mistakes, but on the whole it seems I'm just not getting the cards. Here's how I went out of the last...


Blinds at 50/100 - 8 players left.

Hero (in small blind with 1135 chips): A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

All fold to Villain in MP (1170 chips) who raises to 400
all fold to me, I raise to 700.
BB folds and Villain reraises to 1000.
I raise to 1135, Villain goes all-in.
He shows K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]!

Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]!


Now.... did I play that at all badly? Comments gratefully received!
