mbreon 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yes, many people make their living off of Sit n Gos, as I am sure many make their living off of MTTs as well....I think Zimmer is the resident expert on MTTs. Link to post Share on other sites

Socko669 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have played nothing but sit and gos and mtt's for the last few months. I have been very successful, but i am realistic and know that sooner or later im probably going to have to resume playing cash games to keep up my average monthly profit from playing cards. My main goal as a card player is to never be a one trick pony...i like to play all games in all formats. Link to post Share on other sites

KOKON Steel 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Tourney's are for people like Phil Hellmuth and Chris Ferguson who get killed at cash games.Tell your friend to play both cash and SNG's.SNG's are much less about reading people and much more about "I got K-high with two people left and the blidns are high, I'm pushing. Chances are they'll fold..... yep, they folded. Me goot at poker" Link to post Share on other sites

Sushiman 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have to believe there are. The lower SNGs (if you count them as tournies) are easy money for people with any of bit patience and common sense. Link to post Share on other sites
