Default Need help with Finish distribution

I wanted to wait untill 500 SNG to post this but my ROI continues to suffer so I will post it now and see what you guys think.

I am having trouble finnishing in first place. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I use SNG power tools which has helped me a lot but Im still having trouble getting firsts.(maybe i use realllly bad calling ranges?)

Total Tournaments - 239(22's)

1 - 31 - 9.97%
2 - 37 - 11.9%
3 - 53 - 17.04%
4 - 53 - 17.04%
5 - 41 - 13.18%
6 - 35 - 11.25%
7 - 29 - 9.32%
8 - 15 - 4.82%
9 - 7 - 2.25%
10 - 10 - 3.22%

ITM = 37.42
ROI = 4.98%

Does anyone know what my leak could be here?

I get an abnormally high number of 1st place finishes. I steal blinds...a lot. A whole lot. A whole, whole lot.

This gives me a bigger stack which results in more first place finishes. Start looking for places to steal blinds. Get very serious about it once the blinds are 25/50. Open raise on the button with J8s and hands like it. See if that helps.

Is pushing to much or not enough the only reasons I could have such a low 1st place percentage?

When is it ok to not push in a place that is +EV in hope of pushing there a lot later when the blinds go up? Sometimes at level 4 if its folded to me in the SB and I have like Q7s with 1000 chips(BB's chips are about even with me) I fold so there is a better chance i can steal from him later when the blinds go up. Is this at all correct?
