Yeah, I realize that 12 is a really small sample. True, these are turbos (I believe there are two regular 9-player SNGs among these), so perhaps I do need to be a bit more loose earlier on.

And, god, the 4 and 5s placements. I really wanted to safe it out to get in the money, but I decided to play more aggressively (for the win) to try it out. These consecutive losses took a decent bite in my bankroll. I'm usually in the money about 30% of the time (and win about 10% of the time), so maybe the way I play works as it does.
 
Anyway, maybe I'll take a few of the hands to the hand analysis forum and let you guys dig into me.
 
Something I did pick up from Moneymaker's strategy, though, is to not chicken out on post-flop raises and give opponents good pot odds on draws. That's something I need to work on. My other big weakness is getting enough money out of my winning hands, but that's a separate issue.
 
Btw, I'm new here - as you may have noticed. I've learned a lot from this site from the week that I've been here: Most importantly, that there's always more to learn.

Okay, I looked through the big hands of these 12 tables, and invariably, I've overplayed a "weak" hand (KJo, A7s) or I've gone all-in with a mid pair (77, 99) and gotten beaten by QQ and TT.
 
Lesson learned: Don't overplay cards like KJ or Ax, and don't try to steal the pot with medium pairs unless I have the chips to afford getting called (keep in mind that these are all with 5-7 players at the table).
 
How's that?
