i used to do that also soy.
nowadays i'm getting knocked out a lot with the worse hand preflop.
which is good IMO, because it means i'm abusing FE, and my opponents are playing too tight ^^

-16BI Downswing
AQ flop comes A69, turn A, he goes all in. Rivers 3. He has A3.
JJ flop comes 8 6 2, turn 3 he calls my all in. Rivers A. He has A8.
KK flops QJ3 , he was allin preflop JJ. His reasoning, "Only 3 hands can beat his"
ERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't figure it out.. Last 10 tournies, only ITM once.
The only time ITM was when I sucked out JJ against AA. What the heck? Do I have to play bad to make the money? Other 9 times, I was ahead in all the All In.. Geez, as I'm writing this...
NL10
AA raised to 0.70, BU raises to 1.80, I push Allin $10.
FLOP Q... He had QQ................
Funny thing is, I've lost over $200 in the last 2 days. And I'm not even tilting. 
Right now it seems like everything is stacked against me. At least I'm starting to know how helemalniiks is feeling. It sucks.
Not cashing for a while is part of the game as well unfortunately. Just keep playing your A game and you'll be fine!
Update:
I was working away at 4-tabling $11 SnG's with little success. ROI about 10. This was after ~200 SnG's. Which isn't bad, but not great.
I read a few Blogs and heard people say that MTT is more profitable. So I'm currently in a testing period. $11 - 27 player SnG at Pokerstars. I've found that it's very suited for my style of play. I'm a good post-flop player and in the STT, I found it was very much luck once you hit the bubble. In the 3 table MTT, top 5 pays. So I don't normally get blinded out as fast as STT before hitting the money.
So far, only playiing 1 at a time.
24 SnG 27 players @ $11
4 first - $400
2 second - $144
2 fourth - $56
2 fifth - $44
I normally play to win so that's probably why I lose in 5th or 6th. 
So maybe an upswing, but lets hope not. I don't think I can keep this up though. hehe
BR is all cashed out and ready to deposit into PS. Pokerstars tournaments fill up so fast compared to Titan. It helps to have 100k players online.
Sorry for not updating in so long.
I've been very busy IRL doing some major changes in my life. Sold a business, sold two real estate properties, bought another one. So yeah, absolutely NO TIME for SnG. So I gave my girlfriend a lot of my BR and kept about $500 back in my poker accounts and now I'm using it to start over! Although I can always log into her accounts and steal the money back if I ever need while she's sleeping. 
In fact, when I came back, I didn't even know where I left off. 
But I went back to playing $11 STT and haven't missed a beat. Then I read this blog, and realized I was supposed to be playing these MTT's which was going pretty good when I left.
HUGE UPSWING coming back. I've managed to win ITM about 80% of my tournaments. Hands holding up that should. And when I'm behind, (which isn't often hehe) I even catch all the breaks. LOL. (This had made me very happy, because finally I'm winning when I'm behind!!!! Hahaha...)
So where I had a period where I was breaking even at the STT $11, I'm managing to climb up with 10 out of my last 12 ITM. One point I was even "SUPER HOT" on sharkscope which made me look so good I didn't play the next day just so I could show it off to my friends.
Well, that's it for now. Have a great day guys!
Welcome back, 80% ITM is huge, and sucking out on people is big fun either ♦ Keep doing that (as long as I'm not sitting next to you ;)) Good luck!
