I've realized that I play my best when I'm level headed. I don't really tilt that often, but sometimes I just go through the motions, and that's by biggest weakness. Before I play each SNG I try to psyche myself up by telling myself how bad I'm gonna beat this muthafuker. That helps.

Thank goodness I've ran into so many donks. My fav was on the first hand when I had k7s, and the BB minraised before the flop that was 10-7-7. He checked, I bet, he raised me all in on THE FIRST HAND. His ATo failed to improve. I ran into about 4 or 5 players like this since I've started.

I've avoided SO MANY coinflips. Especially at the early levels. I'm surprised that the blinds at PS go up so slow. Most of the SNG's I win are all in the first level. No one is patient in the low buy-ins.

I haven't been doing a bunch of re-raising preflop in any of the SNG's. Not sure if it's a good or a bad thing. In the early level if the SB makes a decent raise, I usually smooth call with AK or AQ. My thought process is usually that... They think they have the strong ace or king, maybe a PP. When the ace hits and I make a big raise they think I'm bluffing for the fact that I didn't reraise them preflop.

I wish I could keep these stats up. Hope so.

BTW: In the early level, I usually make my raise out of the SB 4BB's, and 5BB's in the BB. I feel that I can easily outplay most of my opponents after the flop, and I usually don't get over-attched to my hand. I like it when they over commit themselves to the hand early when they are drawing slim, and that's what it seems like too many of my opponents are doing.

But I know that 36 is too small of a sample size. I was just wondering if I'm making a mistake here with the 4BB raise early on (at level 2 I also make the 4BB raise, but from then on it's 3-3.5 BB raise, or push/fold< 8BBs)
