Default $11: how tilty am I? need some affirmation or abuse

I'm seriously doubting my game. I'm down 12 buy-ins over the last 22 SNGs. Broke even for the 67 SNGs before that. I suspect my lack of cards is making everything look push-worthy. At the same time, my short-stackedness is driving me insane cause I keep finding myself 7 handed in level 5. $11s have not been kind to me.

Would someone please either berate me for my idiocy or tell me to quit whining and deal with the variance? Thanks in advance.

I'm sure glad I make a nice living doing other things.


Only thing in my memory was that Villain had raised UTG to t300 6 hands prior.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter

MP2 (t1360)
CO (t640)
Button (t2658)
Hero (t1262)
BB (t440)
UTG (t820)
MP1 (t820)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

UTG raises to 300. 4 folds. Hero pushes.

We're not even at the bubble yet. I'm folding the coinflip. Also, you have no FE here.

Bubble or no bubble. Blinds are high. This is not early. And you have lots of fold equity. I have no idea what you're talking about.

He has FE against the guy who raised 300 from his 800 chip stack? Nah.

I agree that the blinds are high. It decidedly does not feel early to me, given my soon to be <10xBB status (granted everyone else has very little, but given how tight I'm going to have to play unless I'm in CO or Button, people are going to start doubling through like mad, and oftentimes not in ways favorable to me).

But do I really have fold equity? Villain just put in 37% of his stack. He is BB next hand and his SB rises hand after that. Granted he probably isn't even thinking of that, but that he's getting 1.4:1.

Not even at the bubble? Guh. This is so wrong. So so wrong.

I don't like coin flips this early.
