If losing 4 SNGs in a row cleans out your bankroll, you're playing at stakes too high. That's a perfectly reasonable short term swing... even if you're the best player in the world. It happens.

I personally favor ring games now. I did SNG's for a while and had the same swings, but prefer the ring games because when you win a dollar, it's your dollar. It's easier to build your bankroll in ring games.

yeah, but when you get screwed, thats $100 or more right there. if i hadnt gotten screwed in 2 or 3 big hands in omaha last week, i would be over 200 right now and you nice people wouldnt be reading this.... but thats poker

with 18 bucks left i can either spend 11 of it to get back up to 50, or play 3 6$ sng's and possibly just scrape by getting 3rd or 2nd, and barely getting my money back. idono i just dont like having to pay 20% rake cuz i dont feel good about 5+1's unless i win 1st, which only happens about half the time

Why is it $100 when you get screwed? I guess it depends on where you're playing. At Royal Vegas, you can play No Limit Games as low as .05/.10.
