Re: Party 11s: Bad for your game?
 

I wouldn't worry about being torn up in the low limit ring games, if you have any clue about what you're doing you'll be in better shape than many of the folks at your table.

I agree with Hobbes. Everybody wants to play as many tables as possible to maximize hourly rate, while, if they improved and moved up in limits, they could play less tables with a higher hourly rate.
I'm 1-3 tabling the $55's right now, until I am confident about my game and know that I'm a better player. I'm also thinking about playing NL cash games.

Everybody says you shouldn't play cash games, because NL cash games are different from NL SnG's. That's true, of course, but the skills needed to be a winning NL cash game player are very helpful in SnG's.
You need to make postflop decisions all the time, so you'll learn how to read players better, and simply learn to maximize EV postflop. If you then adjust in the SnG you'll be a better player.
