sounds like you play a good style of sng poker to me.

and, no, you are not a moron. it sounds you played like a king and got a bit unlucky not to win.

i used to play like that at paradise and i did really well at the sngs there. i need to go carry on playing there. at other sites like pokerroom or fulltilt or holdempoker it's hard to play so aggressively when the blinds get big. because they don't really get big enough quick enough
