What percentage of the time do you play MTTs?

[stevepa]

I play mostly limit cash games, so I'd say somewhere around 75% those and 25% tournaments.

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?

That's definitely true but if you hit a Jurollo like downswing (not picking on him, it can happen to any good player, and I'm not as good as him) I always go through my head about how easy it would be to pick up a few buyins by winning or getting 2nd in a Sit N go, which I'm best in...even though I don't enjoy them at all.

less than 5% of the time.

about 90-95%,play a few sng's when get booted early out of a tourney and have nothing going on. right now i'm playing about 8 hrs a day starting at 10 am to 6pm,3-6 tourneys daily,20 -30$ buy ins. try to start every month with 100 buy ins in my account,and cash out at the end of every month,what ever balance over. atleast that's the plan for now,i'm sure that will change.

I would say 50% tournements 30% sngs 10% NL cash and 10% HU LHE

i'd guess about 90% of the time. I will do occasional S+G one tables. Decided to take party up on a bonus last week and i'm miserable while clearing it. 400 more hands to go and i'm bored out of my skull and the loose passive idiots always outdraw me.

Think I'm going to stop playing cash games unless I know somebody there and it's more "social" for me. Just so over bonus clearing anyway [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

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.

This describes my first month of playing exclusively MTTs.

Right now I'd say I'm 35MTT's/65% S&G's, primarily depending on how much time I have to play poker and my mood.

It fluctuates a lot.. I have this thing where I'm overly results oriented on a day-by-day basis. I basically renounced tournies up until like 2 weeks ago cuz I didn't have a big score and felt like I was wasting my time, then I had a decent-sized win and the feeling of making it to a FT with a lot on the line is > than all the variance involved with these things. S&G's maintain my roll for the most part, but they're so boring I tend to not care. I have more fun sweating other people at FT's then I do playing S&G's, even though they have technically been more profitable for me. (Small sample size)

I have a fever. And the only prescription is more MTTs.

I'll occasionally play STTs as a satellite. I was into NL cash games, and then one day I figured out that I wasn't having any fun. And yet I find MTTs fun, despite their utter brutality. I'm a sick puppy.

I should play limit holdem cash games, or razz, or O8, or 78, but I don't. I need to learn to get decent at them though.

So far this week (my first back into poker after getting addicted to some PS2 and PC games for a month), I've played the following:

6.5 hours SNGs (24 SNGs)
10.33 hours RING (8 sessions)
3.6 hours MTTs (1 MTT)

This comes out to 17.62%, which is probably right around average for me, although sometimes I would like to play a bit more.

I'm 'on call' every other night/weekend, so the nights that I'm on call, I only play ring games in case I get called out..... if I were off every night, I think my ring game play would probably drop to a maximum of half of what it is now, and my MTT play would increase at least 50%.
