just one comment on this. was that you that hit me with the 2x4. damn that hurt.

seriously, you can compare some aspects of SNG's to MTT's but not many. One of the biggest differences is in a SNG it is easier to "open up" your game because the table is getting smaller, while 95% of the time in an MTT you are playing with a full table. Just a vital part of any comparisons between the two.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. That might be totally obvious but it's the fact that I had missed up to this point. That is why my understanding breaks down. In an STT you loose one tenth (or more as there are less palyers) of the field in one go and the departure has an immediate impact on you as a player. In an MTT you loose 1/400th of the field (lets say) and it may have no impact whatsoever on you as a player.

Time for a re-think.....
