Has playing SNGs negatively affected your MTT game?

[mlagoo]

I've recently been trying to start playing MTTs again, and damnit, it's hard.

All of the marginal situations that I could avoid in SNGs because I know I'll just pick up chips when it came to push/fold time, I suddenly have to stay involved in. Do I call a raise with KQ preflop? Call a raise with (gasp) a low/medium pocket pair?

And I can't seem to bully the blinds the way I do in SNGs because, whereas in SNGs by the time the blinds are worth stealing there are 5-7 people left, in MTTs we're still at a full table, and there is always someone opening before me.

Why are these multis so hard? How the hell do those MTT guys make a living?


I guess what I'm trying to say with this thread (pointless as it may be) is: My name is mlagoo, and I suck at post-flop play.
