HELP! My SNG ability has suddenly disappeared!

[DMMx69]

Ive been playing 6h Turbo SNGs on bodog and fulltilt for the past few months. Started off doing quite well, but seem to have fallen into a major slump, and cant figure out why. Here are the stats:

Bodog:
October: 36+3s: 246 games, ROI=14.1%, 1st%=20.3, 2nd%=21.1
FullTilt:
October: 22+2s: 1st 280 games, ROI=17%, 1st%=20, 2nd%=22
Novembr: 22+2s: 2nd 280 games, ROI=-3%, 1st%=16, 2nd%=22

sample size isnt huge, but the trends are so obvious, there were no big valleys or peaks really, aside from the huge one I am demonstrating.

This is the most frustrated I've ever been and dont know what to do. Ive spent a lot of time thinking about this, rereading the books I've read before. Not sure what to do?

i m not sure, but i think a lot or all of it can still be variance and you might do everything alright.

Sample size is wayy too small. I'd suggest reading this forum before you go back to reading any books.

[DMMx69]

yeah ive done that.. seems like 500 games is generally a small but decent enough size. over first 500 my ROI was at 15%.

Get a coach! (me obv)

[DMMx69]

yeah thats what i was thinking... did u go to u of MD? and how does one find info on coaching?

If you think you are having difficulty the best thing to do is to post specific hands, and ask for advice.

There's a coaching directory thread.

Maybe I should type this question somewhere else but, what is a big enough sample size. Especially if you don't multitable and you play one tournament at a time?
