Why aren't you better?

Also, I don't move up in stakes entirely because I'm not comfortable.

i dont really know why im not better.

i feel like i "get it," and yet im still struggling along with a 13% ROI at the 22s.

to be fair, i dont play enough. anywhere near enough. but im in law school, and thats just the way it is. so perhaps its just that i dont have that much practice.

i have a little over 1000 SNGs and i'm kind of stumped at why my results arent better. im not a mathematician, and never have been (in fact i havent taken a math since the 10th grade), but i think i understand all the basic concepts espoused on these forums.

one thing is that i probably tilt away an average of one SNG per down session. this doesn't amount to a great deal of -ROI, but it certainly isnt helping matters.

all in all i would just say that i don't practice enough. and that's why im still pretty much mediocre. otoh, i have been doing great at mtts and nl ring lately, which is nice. maybe i'm jsut running well though =/

For me, this is the only one.

Dont know what work on.

Also I let the results get to my head way too much. If I finish one great set, the next set I'm over confidented making -EV pushes. If I lose all the games in the set, I'm missing a lot of +EV pushes on the next set, because I'm afraid to pull the trigger. It's not always like this, but pretty damn too often.

Ok, now I know what work on [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

with myself i know that i often make hasty decisions on little information. rather than sit and think about a hand for whatever reason i make a rash decision.

I feel keeping 100 buy ins handy at your given level.

This helps maintain consitent play and sleep after loosing 15 buy ins on a bad day.

I do this too [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

I'm somewhat slow thinker, and I'm stupidly compensating it with fast "intuition moves". ..and then watching the stack going away.

But I'm really interested in what separates a very good 215er from a good 109er.

Learning to play very good pushbot bubble SNG poker is much easier than learning how to effectively combat bubble pushbotters (as much as one can).

Those who watch their opponents' play, can figure out how they think/react in certain situations, and make the proper adjustments will be the best SNG players in the long run, regardless of what the "standard player characteristics" are of their opponents.

Those who get stuck in certain "formula" will face more of a struggle in the long run, as "standard player characteristics" are always in flux (to some degree or other).
