ITM play
The big problem with my ROI is that although I may be running fairly hot in the early game (although today I busted out of 5 tourneys within twenty minutes... still managed to salvage the set though!) I keep getting screwed over ITM. I'm not winning enough headsup matches and if only I hadn't gotten screwed over on three seperate tables, my ROI would be fairly cool and my BR would be at 4300. Instead, it's at 4000. Fuck, I hate this. ROI @ 12% over 900 SNGs. At least I'm not losing money.

Alright, I'm no longer mad. I guess I just have to focus on improving my ITM play. I was particularly mad about being the chip leader in three tournaments by a large margin (9k total chipstack) and getting only 1st, 2nd and 3rd. One of the problems was that I lost three allins in a row who considered my push with KTo on the BT 3-handed with 2/4h blinds 'trash'. He continued to call me with miracle hands (he found A6 and then KJ after his original call with AT) and I basically lost three allins in a row and I was out in third.
On another table, I screwed up trying to be cute (although it was a +EV play) by keeping the shortstack alive and stealing the midstack's blinds. Long story short, shortstack came back to beat me when it got headsup. I did push all the right hands though, folded once to gain some equity right before the next blind level, and then continued pushing. 54ss ran into QTss and lost.
Total profit: 20$. wee.
No more screwing around ITM. Time to buckle down and start making all the right pushes.
