I banned my self from playing poker for a week. I was running really bad, playing bad, and running into a huge amount of horrible variance. So I took a week off. On my first SNG back, this happens.

Lol it happens. I'm still up on stupid fulltilt, but I'm going to have to grind the smaller SNGs for a while. I just played 10 SNGs and only cashed in 1 of them. I have never taken a week off from online poker and come back to the variance being this bad. And I tend to take breaks from poker quite a bit from time to time. Oh well, looks like I need some more time off.
