Early results.... I Stink

[kyro]

Everyone's telling you to move down a level. I personally think that's a ridiculous statement considering the information you've given us, which is basically nothing. A few things...

1) Where did you start? Have you been playing the 11s, and been building up steadily and are just now trying out the 55s? Or did you put a crapload of money into Party and say, I think I'll try the SNGs. If it's the former, and you were a winning player after a certain amount of SNGs, moving down is silly. If it's the latter, then yes, I would step down to at least the 20s and play there until you become comfortable with the SNG structure. They are incredibly beatable, even for an untalented hack like myself.

2) My stats at the 55s
First 100: 0% ROI
Second 100: 30% ROI
Final 50: 30% ROI

I didn't improve on my SNG skills THAT drastically. Maybe a push here, a fold there, but nothing that big. This is the reason why, SNGs are streaky as all hell. I've had 7 straight ITM finishes, and followed that up with 19 out of 21 OOM. If you decide to stick with the 50s, you're gonna need to play a hell of a lot more than 55.

3) It looks as if you have a crapload of 4ths. You could be unlucky, or you could be playing suboptimally on the bubble. It's up to you to figure out which of the two it is.

Good luck to you. I hope this calms your fears a bit, or at least points you in a general direction.
