100$ for someone who can help me figure this out

[macdaddy991]

This post and
this graph lead me to believe that I really don't have a good grasp on SH or bubble concepts. I have read the posts on ICM and the tutorials on SNGPT, but still feel like I am missing some key concept.

So heres the deal. I am offering 100$ via Full Tilt to someone who can give me an "a ha" moment. I am a fast learner and will ask lots of questions.

Right now I play the 11's. I want to move up, but I know I will get crushed at the next limit if I don't change something. This is a major leak in my game. I want it plugged.

I would prefer someone at least beating the 22's+ at a decent clip. I understand that 100$ isn't a lot for the higher limit players, but my bankroll isn't robusto.

Its not really that easy to just solve this, but I'd say judging by your graph that you are not nearly aggressive enough on the bubble, possibly losing more to the large blinds than to flipping when your shoves get called.

Your $100 would be much better spend on purchasing SNGPT.

First, just buy sngpt.
Second, the stuff you blacked out of your finish distribution graph is hilarious. You do realize that we could calculate 3 of the 4 blacked out numbers using information otherwise available in the picture, right?

You mean this:
====
119 1st
188 2nd
194 3rd
Total = 15470$

Total profit: 2182$
ROI = 16.4%
====

Anyway, you should probably invest in SnGPT or do ICM by hand if your cheap. Your ROI could get 2-3% more because of your 4th but I do think your doing good. Try to play push/fold at 5 player instead of 4...

If you can then so be it, I didn't really care if people saw my stats, I just didn't want to derail the thread talking about things other then my finish distribution.

I got SNGPT, and had an "a ha" moment when I realized that when I got to the bubble, I was playing to get in the money instead of playing to get first. I think that this change in mindset will improve my game.

Thank you to all who helped, I definitely am thinking about the game on a deeper level now.

Miami32 got there first, no one had posted in this thread until today, and I had several AIM conversations last night.
