the amount of SNGs you have to play to win similar cash is just tremendous (on the order of 1000s of high-stakes SNGs per month).

But you just made my point for me... look at how much more money you had to put into play for the same earn at SNGs.

Duh! what? Are you simply comparing buy-ins? How many SNGs do I have to play to win 10K? The amount of money that's pumped in is much higher than what I would put in cash games. To win 10K at 225s with say 3% ROI, one has to play close to 1500 SNGs.

The variance at higher limits is, as Suzzer put it succintly, soul-crushing. Variance in NL cash games is much much lower, trust me.

Learn to play cash. Profit!

As a strong NL player, if you could be given an ROI rating it would be far higher than the best SNG player on the planet. Now imagine that ROI from your NL applied to SNGs. What kinda varience do you think an 60+% ROI SNG pro would have? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Impossible of course, but a useful thought experiement.

This makes no sense. However strong you are at NL cash, there's only certain amount of winrate one can have. With a small winrate like 3% at 225s, one can easily be off that 3% with slightest bit of variance. Beating the rake itself becomes a tough task at some point. That's why SNGs suck.
