Default Re: Why would a player be better at MTT than STT?

[ QUOTE ]
I've been playing poker recreationally for about 2 1/2 years now and became a winning player (I think) at low limits this year. The following stats are lifetime and include all of my learning curve.

STT Stats:

Pokerstars, 100 stt -$100
Full Filt, 400 stt + $300

MTT Stats:

Absolute, 89 MTT + $600

Does it appear from these stats that I'm a better MTT player than STT? If so, why would this be?

These stats do NOT say that you're a better MTT player than STT. There isn't nearly enough information to make this call.

You have 89 MTT's on Absolute, and you're up $600. For all we know you could have come 1st in one MTT for $2000, and busted in last place in 88 of 'em... If that was the case you'd be a pretty piss-poor MTT player.

Same goes for the STT finishes - for all we know you have a really big score one time on FT, or a really big beat one time on stars.

This, combined with the fact that your sample size is really (really) small, means we can't draw any conclusions about what you may be better at.
