My past 400 Sngs have 3rd as my biggest amount of finishes (15%). Next came 6th [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img], then 1st, then 2nd

My most common finish is 5th place, if that makes you feel better.

The fact that you know how to spell the word ridiculous is really the most telling component of your post. That places you in the top 2% of players/posters right there... so I wouldn't worry about the 5ths.

PS- I have data sets of >500 where 5th is my most common finish.

My highest placing is in 5th as well. me second best is 1st.
The reason most of us are seeing this trend is because we arent sitting around trying to slide into the money. By putting your self into position to win 1st your also putting your self in position to bust out in 5th/6th place.. I wouldnt worry about a high % of 5th/6th I would be happy about it. Just for curiositys sake what is your second best finish.

1, 2, & 3 are all pretty close and tied for second.

1sts are ahead right now, but my finish distribution tends to be pretty flat, and that could change at any moment.

I have a very LOW amount of 4ths.
