does anyone else with a high score have more trouble with cash games than with sngs?

i dont mean sucking, i mean getting extremely bored as you arent playing for anything and are essentially playing the same hand over and over. I think the goal and ending aspect of a sng allow me to focus better in them. maybe this is 100% not related?

[zipppy]

this is kind of true for me. I simply have a hard time starting up a session of cash games because the thought of it is so boring. once i'm playing i'm okay, usually...as long as i can do 4 other things at the same time...

63 Pro. Although, I find it interesting that there are at least 5 questions that would have been answered very differently had I taken this two years ago. They are:


5. I am irritable, and get upset by minor annoyances.

2 yrs ago quite a lot, now; just a little.

7. I make quick decisions without thinking enough about their possible bad results.

2 yrs ago very much, now, somewhat

12. I seem to be thin skinned and many things upset me.

2 years ago, very much, now, moderately.

13. I almost always am on the go.

2 years ago, I was easily bored when not with friends or at work. Now, I am at peace sitting in front of my computer allllllll daaaaaaaaay long.

14. I am more comfortable when moving than when sitting still.

2 years ago, i used to be very active. I worked out and waited tables. Now, I am as sendentary as sediment.

My score had I taken it two years ago would have been 76. I was diagnosed with ADD at a very young age, I am not on meds currently, and haven't been for over 10 years. I do find it interesting that poker has definitely curbed my ADD a bit, and in fact, I think that if I weren't so ADD, I would not have had as much difficulty getting to where I am today.

I'm surprised by the range of scores, but I would think that 30-50 would be the range for a good SNG pro as having an active mind and wanting a lot of action would seem to go together.
However, for cash games, I think having 2 or 3 challenging games is enough to keep you occupied.
