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

I have heard a few people say lately that there is more money making potential in MTT's than SnG's is this true? Has anyone else thought about switching to MTT's. Do you really think there is more money to be made there?

i hope you like variance and post-flop poker

I cant imagine having a higher expectation in todays online multis. First of all they take forever, second of all the max buyins are quite small. Third you have to play on a schedule and sometimes can only get into a few at the same time.

Does Tiger Woods ponder if he'd be better at stock car racing?

I can only say that I have been playing both (not enough for statistics to matter much yet), and the play at the MTTs seems way, way softer. Super-LAGs everywhere. I occasionally see a super-lag blow up at a STT, but it's just one. In MTTs, I often see a table that seems to be 80%+ superlag. When was the last time you saw a 6-way all-in in a STT? It seems the rebuy period in rebuy MTTs is the surest way to see maniacs gone wild. Is this high variance? No doubt. But it's hard to imagine it isn't more profitable than STTs. (I also think there is a wider skill set needed for MTT play, which I don't mean as offense to STT players, as I play a lot more hours of STTs than MTTs and, as I said, the MTTs I feel are softer)

lmao, the rebuy period of an MTT is the best time to get chips. its also probably the least crucial period of the MTT.

It is clear that a good MTT player has a higher ROI than a good STT player. It's just that you can open up to 10 identical STT's any time of day that end in an hour, of various buyins.

I agree, but my problem is 20% of the superlags are really good players, and I cannot tell them apart from the superlag donks (until they have my chips, anyway).

I have read the posts and I have concluded that,

MTT's have a mich higher varience than SNG's not to mention scheduling conflicts. Also they are very time consuming. I have decided to mix it up and stick with mostly SnG's and throw in the occasional MTT. You guys think this is a wise choice?

Strongly agreed. I play about half turbo SNGs and half non-turbos and MTTs (180x$20 mostly) at PS. The quality of play is massively different in the non-turbos--as very few of you fine folks hang out there [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. I love the post-flop play of the MTTs and non-turbos and late MTT decisions.

I don't know if I agree with the take forever statement. Yes they do take a bit of time but if I am playing 300 players then isn't it similar to playing 30 STT's ? So the time may average out.

Longer time yes but bigger payout compared to buyin ?

I wonder where the bad players go. I imagine STT cause they are in a hurry to get action, yet I would also say MTT cause they want to play a WSOP style game.

One or the other has to have more dead money. Of course the Final Table in a MTT is likely to have some real competition, whereas in a STT you do not have to worry about facing the best players, who you start with is who you end with.
