I cant beat $2 sngs / play money sngs (after 1000sngs)

[AlphaWice]

i feel so awful, i am actually trying and following the strategies (such as Aleomagus guide) to the letter, as well as my own strategies etc., yet I always lose in both playmoney sngs and $2 sngs at pokerchamps.. this isnt just like "i played 4 sngs", its somewhat statistically significant because I've now played 1000sngs with an average loss of about 10% of my buyin before rake.

strangely, in $5 sng I dominate with 16.6% return on my buyins after rake.. (only after like 200 so not really significant)


can someone give me advice? i am very good at math but why do I suck so hard at microlimit sng?
