Default Difficulty of Daytime SnG\'s compared to daytime ring games

Hey guys, I primarily play shorthanded but I'm looking to get back into playing some more SnG's. I was thinking of doing the majority of my SNG playing during the daytime "off hours". My hypothesis was that the overall tightness and competency of players would still hurt your SNG perfermance compared to late night playing with drunks, but not to the same degree as it would ring games where you constantly hammer on loose players. I'm far from an accomplished tourney guy, but it seems more of the edge is gained from an overall grasp of situations rather than having the loose guys at the table, and possibly getting into a position to take advantage of him.

Am I right in thinking this way? And for those of yall that play a lot how do your daytime party numbers compare to the busy hours. Input from those that play SNG's and rings is great too. Thanks

I honestly don't think it makes a difference.

I see this question so often and while this isn't the answer you were looking for:

Develop a game that is profitable at all times against all opponents.

I hate fishing.

You are never getting called by 4c3c by a guy with 10xBB behind when you push your jacks from MP during lowtime. This has happened during primetime, also got called by j6, 66, 22, etc... You get the point. I think its a big difference, but it could just be due to variance.

SnG's. I have a small sample size, but I dont see a difference. If anything, the day timers are tighter giving you much more stealing opportunities.

Agreed. I need people who have a concept of the bubble.

Raptor's got the same thinking as me. It seems there's alot more loose aggressive's at night, which can either be bad or good depending on how you look at it. For me it seems there are many more suckouts, which means you need to play many more SnG's to straighten out the variance.
