This summer instead of being a normal college student and getting a summer job, I played poker for a living. I made almost all of my $ off of MTTs, and it was a pretty good amount of money.

me too. MTTs are putting me through college at the moment since my financial aid couldn't cover it all.

I just hope my winnings don't mess anything up and make me ineligible for more aid next year.

I typically play 3 tables of 100-200nl along with 1 MTT table. sometimes I'll play 3-4 MTT's and no ring. Sometimes I'll play just 1 table. id say my br is about 50/50 ring/mtt.

MTT's are very swingy, so it helps to play Ring games and pad your br a little bit, throwing away 1k in a day just on MTT's and only cashing for 300 or so can annoy you. Newer players to MTT's like myself need another source of income to pad the BR. If i get good enough i may just play MTT"s excusively, but I love ring play and i think i have a good mindset for it.

how many tournies are you playing that are over 1k per day? i assume they're all in the $50-150 buyin range? i've been playing mostly at stars and party for tournies, and the occasional happy hour at empire, but what other sites offer good daily tournies in the $100+ buyin range?

Does anyone here play exclusively mtts (no cash games or SNGs) and make a good roi?

[/ QUOTE ]

I play mostly ring games (used to be SNGs) and just play MTTs for fun. If I only played MTTs, my bankroll would not be pretty, as I've just in the last week gone positive on my 2005 mtt roi. Also, though, I'm a bad poker player [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
