Re: mtt question
I do basically play MTTs exclusively. I just find them more fun/exciting than cash games. Or, more accurately, I'd have to play higher than I feel comfortable doing in cash games to get the same rush I do from going deep in any tournament. As for your question, yes the varience is insane. Most people who win one early in their playing career never fully grasp how hard it is to do, and thus don't manage their bankroll correctly after they win. Either they either play too mang big tournies and blow it, think they are gods gift to poker and blow it at cash games that they aren't equipped to play, or they dont money in 10 tournies in a row and get frusterated.
Varience is a different animal in tournaments than in cash games. In cash games its all about swings, but a gnereal upward trend. In tournaments its long periods of slowly losing money followed by one huge evening (online) or (weekend) live. It takes a strange breed to deal with it.
