What percentage of the time do you play MTTs?

[Ansky]

It varies a lot. I don't keep super accurate stats enough to say with exact certainty.

But, 1 week I'll be on some vengence to win a tournament and I'll play a lot, other times I'll get bored of tourneys and play nl 600 or something, other times I'll 8 table sit and gos. I suck at sit and gos though, so I need to shape up.

I only have time for tournaments in the weekends usually so for me it's 50% SnG's, 40% cashgames and 10% MTT's.

35 tournies in Feb, no cashes and everytime I get KO'd it seems to be on an 80/20 when I still come out on the bad side... just common variance but the way and manner it is happening in is getting to me.

You actually have an ITM of 0.0% in 35 MTT's? Wow that's impressive. I guess you've driven your luck-box to the max in the latest months. It need a break

And to OP so this isn't just a hi-jack: MTT's 100%

I've recently switched to playing more MTT's (two FT's in January certainly helped the bankroll). Right now my mix is probably 80-90% MTT and 10% SnGs.

What's a sit n go?

But seriously, I used to play SNGs all the time - but for the last year or two now I just play MTTs and an occasional cash game. I can't get excited any more about winning a SNG when an MTT can sometimes pay 100+ buy-ins.

Other MTTers relate?

I prefer the MTTs more than anything, but if I'm on a downswing I switch over to cash games. I'd say I'm about 80% MTTs and 20% cash games. Though it seems that the 20% is a killer when you keep getting sucked out on and thus lose your bankroll, THANK YOU my friend TILT!!! AA v AK = 93% favorite = Rich loses and clown boy stacks me. Sorry, frustrating.

Oh yeah, not a big fan of SnGs.

Absolutely, but I force myself to read through the STT forum and get back into them for a while. I actually think STTs help me with tilt control. When I play too many MTTs without playing other games, I find myself caring too much about single games. I get really pissed off when I bust, but when I am 4-tabling SNGs, I wont even be able to tell you how I busted in them by the time they are finished.

I also have done some work on my limit game, but I'm destined to be a <.5BB/100 limit player. I still play a few hours a week, but a lot of it revolves around bonus clearing.

From someone with a 60+ hour per week B&M job - I play as many MTTs as my bankroll will allow - when I get down a few buy-ins, I pop open a soft, boring LHE table and play until I win 2-3 buy-ins & then its right back to the MTTs. When I occasionally cash for a nice MTT payday, I pull the profits out, last time for a trip to Vegas [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. This way, my cash game skills stay useful as I learn the MTT world.

I would like to know how many hours and tournies you are playing in a day and which ones do you play? Thanks

[DonT77]

I will say this about SNGs - they are great practice for Final Tables. If I get into a streak where I bust out early in a few Final Tables then I'll go back and play some SNGs until I get my confidence back.
