Boostnslide, I had your problem too. I've found that trying to stay focused and staying tight until the late stages has helped me get over it.
Example...$5+0.50 SNG, down to four players. Top 3 pays. I have $200-300, blinds are $100 and other three players are sitting on ~$2500 each. By keeping tight, playing good hands and semi-bluffing (i.e. AI on top pair post-flop) I stayed in the game for 10 minutes. In the meantime, two big stacks wiped each other out and I finished 2nd!
Another good tip in this position is...take your time! Use all of your time and you WILL put others on tilt through frustration.
Thanks Davsimon for the tips. I've only been playing for 6 weeks and they've helped no end. I've picked up the game quickly and always showed a profit (ITM ~40%, ROI 25%). I think reading your posts has re-inforced some ideas that I knew I SHOULD have been doing , but didn't always. Over the past 30 $5+0.50 SNGs I've managed ITM ~65% and 150% ROI. Again, THANKS!!! It's nearly time for $10+1 as my bankroll of $0 has grown to $150.
