Those stats are pretty good Pockets. I find most of the better players i talk to are anywhere between 50 and 60%. Theres not too much you can do about this stat other than making sure you limit the amounts of time you go to showdown. Don't be so eager to go ALL-IN or call someone elses ALL-IN. Try and win your pots before the river or get out of the pot.

The main stat (Pots Won @ Showdown) tells me that you finished 2nd and only had to see a Showdown twice. The 2nd time was for all your money heads-up. So actually only once during the game did you have to get to Showdown.

To answer your question of "maybe your Too Tight?" In this particular case i would say tight was the proper way to play seeing 7 of the 9 players were eliminated in the first 44 hands. I will say its not typical for a 10 man SNG to be over in 45 hands. There must have been some serious loose players there. In that case I find it better to tighten-up and wait for a decent hand to play.

But by reducing the amount of times you went to showdown, you kept your SD% above 45% and thus finished "In The Money"...
