expectations
couldnt find anything on search so ill try a post..
currently im playing 20/40 and 25/50 limit, however tournaments is tempting.. my problem is if these will be worth my time since im obviously making a lot of money at my cash game play?? So to all you winning tourney players: what could you expect to win in different tourneys over time?

Re: expectations
Unless you want to put in the time to really become a top notch player, I would doubt you could beat your current $/hr (assumin you have a decent win rate).
I would treat MTTs as a fun diversion. Especially the wednesday night super MTT (limit). That being said, they will be a +EV play for you (you already play at a high level), but you will lose money for the time you miss at your regular game

[/ QUOTE ] Why are you OBVIOUSLY making a lot of money, after naming the stakes you play? That makes me want to call your bluff. But anyways, tourneys are more fun, and are what have put more meaning back into playing poker for me. You can only play cash games exclusively so long before it starts to feel more like a grind and less like the competitive hobby you took up in the beginning. Monetarily, MTT's leave you stranded between big hits. It's like being a real estate agent and picking up a commission check every so often, rather than a weekly steady salary.

I think this answered my question that tourneys are not as +EV as the bigger cash games but definetely more fun so ill stick to playing a tourney every now and then for the fun of it!
