Too Many Races?

First post here, but I've been reading for awhile. I've recently gotten back into SNGs, and I've been playing both the 60 and 27 turbos on Stars. I find that most of my games generally go the same way:

1) I pretty much fold everything for the first two or three levels, since I'm only playing premiums.

2) I find myself in the last 4-6 players around the BB200 level.

The problem is that I'm almost always one of the shorter stacks at this point, and I mostly get stuck flipping a coin for survival. I guess this wouldn't be so bad, but losing means I'm out, and winning guarantees nothing.

Is this typically the way SNGs go for the better players, or is it possible that I'm doing something wrong?
