Re: Frustration...

After my first 135 Sit-n-goes i have an ROI of -1.21%... I usually make it to the final 6 players just playing tight and(from what i understand so far) standard low level blind play. But when the blinds get to 75-150 and above i pretty much have no idea what to do... i'll often have a stack of 10bb or less with the blinds going up next hand... and push something like a K9 without any idea if its correct or not... a lot of the situations i think to myself "what would the guys at 2+2 say to do" I'll try and take a step back from the situation and take in all the info that i can (stack sizes... blinds... starting hand... how villain(s) is playing...number of players left etc...) and still be completely stuck...
i really want to join SNG icons (looks like the best videos for STT and i would want to support guys that post on here...) but my bankroll is 100 (79$ now...) and i play 3.40s so i dont think its practical to pay upwards of 150 dollars even though i want to learn... i have the new Sit-n-go Book from 2+2 and have read it once... the only thing that i really took away from it was how to play low blinds, EV and tournament equity...
i have been lurking these forms for a little while and just recently started to post hands and questions... but what is the best way without spending hundreds of dollars on software or videos to learn mid-high blind play and what to do on the bubble. i guess I'm just sort of venting right now and mad, mainly at my self for not being able to figure it out on my own...

Well, the first step is admitting you have a problem so you are already on your way to recovery.
The only thing I can tell you is that SnGs are a game of pattern recognition. After a while, you will know ICM in your sleep. ICM will make you at least a breakeven player. You just have to play hundreds of SnGs for the patterns of when to push and when to fold to become imprinted for you. I would recommend to keep reading posts here and post hands you are struggling with. After a while, the overall gist of high blind play will become apparent to you.
