Yeah, never seen somebody playing that low for that long!

I'm currently down for 20 BB over the last 600 tourneys or so....This can happen even if you are a good SNG player (by no means I want to say that I'm good!!!).

It depends mainly on you how to handle this situation. Some guys take a few days off, or switch to cash for a few days etc. I simply continued playing AND revising my game!! It's important to know if your downswing comes b/c of bad play or bad luck or both (for me it was both!!). I also hired a coach to help me improving my game (thanks AMT...you are great!!!). I'm definetively better now then I was before my downswing and things are starting to normalize again (believe it or not but yesterday I won twice with a higher PP against a lower PP [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

You likely have lots of leaks, but you are just experiencing standard swings. Play through it unless you are playing worse because of the bad run. If you're playing worse, then take a break or play something else for a while.

Keep trying to improve your game. Go over hands in ICM software. Post and respond to hands. Make a video and post it. Hire a coach. Etc.

Lol, I'm at like 8,000 6.50's right now, and running hot!
Brag: averaging near 50$/hr on my 1st 500 6.50's this month.
Beat: not sustainable.
Beat: I should probably move back up.
Variance: lack thereof is why 6.50s are fun.

OP-- at this low buyin, I'd suggest reviewing all your ICM and doing drills with SNGWiz Quiz Mode or BubbleTrainer or whatever. And make sure to catch lots of sets with your low PPs.
