Bad Players = Hard to Beat????

Calling stations in SNG's are different than rings because if you are wrong in a big hand it is game over which means no winning over the long haul. Myself just got blasted out of a decent paying tourney by a 99:1 longshot.

Arguing that calling stations are bad in SNGs because their bad call can suck out and bust you out is like saying calling stations are bad in cash games because a bad call can suck out and win a hand. You don't play one SNG in your life; you (presumably) play many over the long haul. And over the long haul, the bad calls by calling stations add to your win, just like they do in cash-game play. It's just that the long haul consists of many SNGs instead of many hands.
