Here was my thought process, for some reason I am just not doing well in MTT's, I honestly can't find the leak other than I am just getting unlucky at all the wrong times, though finding a way to avoid or survive those spots may be a leak in itself.

In a normal MTT they pay roughly 10% of the field depending on where you play, well one seat for 18 players is closer to 6% of the field, I just didn't like those odds. I am a reasonably decent SNG players and thought that four shots at that game should get me to at least one final table. Again, being better than average (IMO) gives me at the very worst a 1 in 7 shot of winning a seat. Had I been paying attention to the lobby board were it clearly states no deals can be made I MAY have thought twice about going that direction.

Flawed logic, probably but thats the path I went and like I posted earlier I got heads up and got the chips in with the lead and had a dominating hand, guess it just wasn't meant to be, this year.
