FWIW, I don't shut it down like a lot of people at the bubble. My ratio (only about 200 SNGs to date) is about 35:25:22:22. I'm not sure if I can keep that up over the long run.

Are you saying that you get top 4 finishes 104% of the time? I Think that might be unsustainable, and it really isn't about your measley sample size.

I seem to be 3rd > 1st > 2nd so far. Am I just playing too passively ITM? I think I might be play "over"aggressive and pushing almost everything and calling almost every all in with a LARGE chip lead and high blinds. Standard? Probably also too tight 4 left where I'll fold hands like A8, KJ, etc if 4th is getting low stacked.

it seems likely that you're trying to squeak ITM.

Yeah, do you advocate just being a total bully with a lot of chips on the bubble? And pushing a lot of strong hands with 4 left if are currently in 3rd, but have a good shot to double up?

For a given ROI, the best distribution is one which produces the highest ITM.

Uh...no. That's only if you give a [censored] about variance. ROI is ROI. Who cares about ITM? [censored] ITM

I give a huge [censored] about variance! Low variance = high sanity.
