Post this in the '1-Table Tournament' section, as many of the top SNG players post there and have some great advice/information about this very thing.

But the short answer: Yes, there is money to be made by playing only SNGs. It just depends on your strengths.

IIRC, he said he built his bankroll through limit and the 6-max stuff. Then he started raping the $200 SNG's. 8-tabling, the whatnot.

In my opinion, unless you're 8-tabling or more at some high money levels, I wouldn't recommend SNG's as a moneymaker. If they're your thing, go for it.

A very good SNG player can make about 1/2 the entry fee per hour. Probably less once you get to the $50s and above.

Its much harder to play multiple SNGs than it is to play multiple tables of cash games so I really doubt that you could make more playing SNGs than you could playing cash games. But yes of course you can make money just playing SNGs.

A very good S&G player can make upwards of 3 entry fees per S&G, playing 4 to 8 at a time, with each taking less than an hour.

As suggested, there is a wealth of information in the 1-Table forum. Some quick observations:

1. Many people earn their livings playing SnGs.

2. SnGs are completely different from ring games. You need a totally different set of strategies to play SnGs.

3. SnGs have a lot lower variance than ring games, so it is possible to make more money with a given bankroll at SnGs than at ring games.
