Hi I play mostly $5 sngs and all the $26 MTT I've played over 1k $5 sngs this month, and im only up $167, despite cashing the 17k gt one night for $700+. My ROI in the sngs is only like 2%, I rarely get in coin flips early and I either get sucked out on or bubble out. I cash in about 33% of sngs, andd suggestions? Just looking to build a bankroll. Thanks

When you say you cash in 33% of SnGs, do you mean single-table SnGs? If so, that is not a good cash rate. 33% of the field makes the money, so you need a higher cash rate than that to show a profit. Perhaps you have some leaks on the bubble?

yeah I only cash in well actually 34%, I was watching jackal69 on CR and he said about 40% is good and thet are single tables. I know I have bubble play leaks but what are they you know? I play agressive as big stack and push fold as small, I shove pretty solid hands on the bubbled short stacked and obviously other hands in position but I just dont recognize my leaks

First suggestion is to stop posting the same thing over and over again. People are not more likely to reply the more you post.

Also, it's hard to give specific answers to generic questions. Post some hand historys if you want analysis of how you played. But read the stickied post at the top of the forum before you do.

Play cash games at all? I've found them to be a pretty consistent earner.
