Why do you play MTT?

[JaBlue]

I don't get it. Even for the best guys entering 215$ MTTs that expect their equity to be, say, 500$, have to earn that over a period of 5 hours (just a guess, maybe its more maybe its less) for an hourly expectation of $100. Why would you deal with all the variance etc. when it seems you could make the same in cash games with less stress?

And for the vast majority of you guys who are playing 20 and 50 and 100 maybe your expectation is 60, 150, and 300, respectively. However, your hourly expectation seems to come out to something like 10, 30, and 60 respectively here. Why do you do it?
