Re: the ability to play MTT\'s for your poker career
I play MTTs primarily as my poker income. (Or I do now that I've started winning consistently.) But I also play SnGs as a bit of a hedge, to stabilize the bankroll.
I'm a decent live cash player but I was getting the crap kicked out of me online, so I haven't done that in a while. Now that I have the BR to expand, though, I may give some of the softer sites a shot.
I also haven't been playing MTTs as my primary source of income long enough to hit any horrible stretches, but I also don't play full-time (damn school).
In my case I've realized that I've picked up the skills for tournament play much better and faster than I did cash play, and so I mix up SnGs, small-field and large-field multis, because I feel my biggest advantage over the field lies specifically in my tournament-poker ability.
I have no idea if any of this helps you or not.
