Yup. You could click "sit out" and come back after 20 mins and be in the last 5. Though I've never tried it

50% ITM after a 15 OTM downswing is really good. If you're ROI sucks it's probably because of the rake. Cut the buy-in down to 0.4c in your records and see what your ROI should be.
Well, over 50 games my ROI is 6%, it's 8% if you discount the rake and 7% if the rake were halved (i.e. a 10% rake).
Don't know how significant that is.

Bubbling, like getting eaten by the blinds, or bubbling by loosing a coinflip (or better or worse)? If you're getting eaten by the blinds, too conservative. If you're ending up in situations where you're pushing with questionable hands and loosing... I have the same problem at $5.50, so we just have more to learn.
Usually if I've not hit any hands, or the hands have not paid off I've probably got around my starting stack (+/- 20%) and I usually end up making a move which either gets me in or busts me out.
A few bad decisions in there, some were right and got sucked out (by a bigger stack who could afford to take the risk).

Did you depoit a dollar, or finish ITM in a freeroll? Good luck starting from scratch.
I played 69 of their 0+0 SNGs which have a $0.10 prize pool. They're limit poker, so it was an adjusment. I played enough to get my account up to 75c (then played a few more to make it 88) which I thought was enough of a BR for the 4c tables.
I really don't want to go back and do that again
