Four tabling on party, fairly easy work, you should average six SNGs per hour, so your hourly pay would be about $20.

there is absolutely no reason to four table on party. sngs do not require a lot of deep thought (especially not at the 22s).

a ton of people make a ton of money playing SNGs for a living (usually at significantly higher stakes than 22s). apparently, although i dont think anyone has ever conclusively determined this (would seem like the sample sizes necessary would be outrageous), it is one of, if not the lowest variance form of poker available. which is good for a lot of peoples psyches.

There was a great post about variance of SnGs compared to limit for different kinds of players, and it showed that really good limit players have less variance than average to bad SnGers. So while there is less variance for good STT tournament players, for some players there will be less variance at other games.

Well, if you have one monitor capable of displaying four tables without overlap, you don't want to work too hard, and you can live on $20 an hour, maybe that's a reason. I was giving an example. Presumably OP can multiply.

I know Nick B. I just know ZeeJustin's game more.

I'd be a wager on ZeeJustin over Nick B though in a HUs SnG. Wanna take a bet?
