Im fairly new to MTT's and STG's. I must say that from a POKER perspective MTT's is the way to go. I have played maybe 20-30 MTT this month have finished in the money about half the time, give or take and have had two final tables. One that I won $6/196 players and a fourth place $22/2448 players. I feel that there is definatly more money to be made, particularly compared to the buy-in in the MTT's. Just from the two im up $4k (nearly) and risked $28. For the others I finished about even. If you are willing to play the already mentioned post flop poker the players really are weak up untill the last 5% or so and at that point youve made some good money. You will definately see money less often with the MTT. For now I am just trying to stay away from the cash games and keep learning to succeed at both.

Ive played a couple of those tourneys as gifts to myself. There is def. a lot less dead money. I quit bc they are too hard for me to bankroll. I can comfortably play 30+3 and less and feel that with some more work could really start making some money. But Im about to start tracking my buy ins for both right now starting with 5 $11 SNGs before bed.

![]() MTTs control your life and your schedule, SNGs don't. I love MTT's but they are simply an impractical way to play poker if you focus on them entirely. That's my opinion at least. |

There arent many pure (online) MTT pros out there.In fact, I would estimate the number of players making over 25K a year playing online poker, MTT only players would rank below SNGs, NLHE ring, and Limit Ring (in to particular order).
This is mostly due to the variance, and limitted number of large events. A very good MTT player could easily lose money for months and months. That isnt as true in the other games. For the vast majority of players, I think SNGs are more profitable if you at least 4-table. There are very few players that could handle being a MTT only pro. I really cant imagine the stress that would cause. Take you worst SNG beat, and multiply it by 100. God bless you Degen, best of luck |

Actually before I become a memeber I have two nubish questions that still need to be answered.
1. Is it possible to be successful at STT's and MTT's and still not be a successful ring game player? 2. What is pwned!!!?? |

I am not a pro, not even close.
My strategy these days is to play both. I try to get in about 20-30 SNGs a day at various times in my home office between putting in hours as a part-time solo attorney. In the evening (5pm and beyond) I then play an MTT or two (or sometimes three) while hanging in the family room with my family (not great for focus but it is comfortable to play from my recliner by the fireplace in front of the big screen). I have been doing this for about a month or so off and on and have hit on a $4k 2nd place in a $33 MTT and have made the money a bunch of times. I'm about even at the SNGs, unfortunately, but have been studying hand histories and it mostly seems to be variance. At any rate, I hope to be able to keep this up. I am enjoying it so far and I believe it to have serious profit potential. |
