More money to be made in MTT than SNG's?

Is it possible to be successful at STT's and MTT's and still not be a successful ring game player?

Yes, but you're less likely to be successful at MTT's without being at least a decent ring game player, IMO.

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.

By the way, the point I was trying to make was that for me mixing between MTT and SNG keeps things fresh and challenging. I do not think I could grind out 50-100 SNGs a day like some do, and I do not think I could handle the variance (at this point, at least) and schedule demand that would go with doing all MTTs, just like I could not handle 12+ hours a day in a huge law firm 6 days a week (that sucked!).

I don't see any problem with mixing up SNGs and MTTs unless you are depending on it for month to month income or don't feel capable of shifting gears in the manner required or don't have time to put into the study required to do both successfully.

I believe that there might be more money making potential for a casual player at MTT's than SnG's. One big cash in a MTT is all you need to shoot your ROI into the 1000's.

Placing high in a few MTT's will definately have a higher payday if you can only play a few SnG's a week.

If you can 8 table SnG's and pump out 500 games a week, I believe that you'll make more $/hour than dealing with MTT's.
