Need some Tips for SNG Tournaments

[adam61]

Just a quick little bit about myself. I been playing like 4-5 months. Started a couple months on $1/2 tables at party. Then last month I have been doing $10+1 SNG Tournaments at Party, mix of Limit and NL Hold'em. I also play in some of the weekend tournaments if I happen to qualify in a $10+1 satellite.

Well I lost my first $200 like I'm sure most do. Then I did well for a couple months made about $800 mainly from placing 48th in a Friday Special Limit tournament. Then I started to move permanently to tournament play, mainly the single-table tournaments just cause it was more exciting.

I started off well in them and I've just gotten worse and worse. I think I'm semi-tight, passive now. I don't like being that but it seems like everytime I play two-pair or top pair-top kicker aggressively I get booted out of the tournament.

I've read some of the books and tightened up my play but I'm having some trouble on the marginal stuff and my bluffs seem to always get called even when I feel like I have a tight conservative table image.

Some stats from pokertracker, only my last 2000 hands or so...

31% Flops seen(It's more like 28% head to head skewed it a little) 32% won money if flop seen. Raised preflop 10%. Aggression Factor 0.99

And some stats from my last 90 tournaments. These are worse than my first 40 which I didn't track.

Times in money: 31/90
First: 11
Second: 14
Third: 6

Average Finish: 4.55

Net profit is about $100 but due to some ring game losses, and some single-table, multi-table qualifiers that panned into nothing I'm down a good bit. I'm playing about 75% Limit 25% NL right now all SNG $10+1.

What's my best bet, play more Limit, more NL, back to ring games, play more Multi-table? And how can I begin to improve my play, I don't mind practicing and learning but I actually feel I've gotten worse my last 10,000 hands or so. More gunshy now and when I decide to be aggressive I somehow unerringly pick the worst times.

Sorry for being so long winded, but any help is greatly appreciated.
