i definitely have not played very many nl sng's. in fact, i believe i played 5 this week, with 3 3rd and 2 2nd place finishes. i didn't claim that i would place every tourney or even half of them yet. just commenting on how bad the other players are. i am a limit player, however, so was wondering if limit tourneys can be as profitable as nl. i witnessed what you pointed out, that the morons go all-in early with crap and then its down to 4 or 5 people and you can play the survival game to get into the money. this also means its easy to get a lot of chips early if you get big hands-no slowplaying necessary, just go all-in and somebody will call with their pair of 7's. i believe you that nl sng's are more profitable for a good player. i think this is also true for very good nl ring game players too though. here is my plan: i'll play 100 nl sng's and 100 limit sng's. whichever i do better at will be my game of choice. thanks for the advice.
