Has playing SNGs negatively affected your MTT game?

I think its difficult in the medium stages of the MTT for us sngers to adjust to teh tables are still staying full but the blinds are still going up. You can't just easily 'pick up chips' using pure aggression as you do with the sngs with 4-6 people left.

However, I think playing sngs has helped me DRASTICALLY when a MTT gets down to 1-3 tables left, because these tables end up playing much like Sit-n-Goes do (especially the final table).

Yeah I should have noted that it is the middle stages, not the early or late stages, that are giving me fits.

Which also explains why it isn't really an issue in like, 40-50 person home tourneys -- the middle stages don't really exist, at least not to the extent that they exist in 1000-2000 person online tourneys.

I just can't seem to find the proper balance of aggression and patience. In SNGs, I think I've found that balance, or at least the balance that works in SNGs. In MTTs, I am having a great deal of difficulty "picking the right spots," as it were. Perhaps one of these days I'll sort through a bunch of old HHs and pick out a bunch of hands I wasn't sure about.
