Which is more profitable if looking to hit a big score online. I am mainly a live player but do not mind online just find some stuff about the online factor deteriorating to the game. Curios advice on how to make a big score or is it just like all else in just grinding against the regs.

the big series has good payouts for small investment. But the variance is crazy.

All my wins are from MTT's, but I hit once the biggest win at sng's steps...when I won the in the last step.

I think its more a matter of how much you like varience and whether you do better in a long tournament or a short one. For me, I have a better ROI in SnGs, but the payout is a lot higher if you get lucky in an MTT

SnGs are a lot more faster, and you can cash easier.
MTTs take more time, it's harder to cash because of the huge amount of players but if you do there's a lot more money.

I prefer SnGs just because they are faster and don't require so much time.

I prefer Sng. In sng average poker player have better chance to win. Prizes in sng are smallest than mtt in same buyin but feeld is less than some mtt tournament. Also good thing about sng is that for have max players and start when players are registered. My opinion some poker player must play sng first and when he have bankroll he can play mtt. If some poker player start to play poker gith mtt tournaments first that can be a very bad for his bankroll. Best online poker player in my country first play sng's and when he improve his gamr enough to play tournaments he start to play mtt. Now he is one of the best in region in online poker.

Say your goal is to win 1000$ and you are at a 10$ buy in level. It will take you ages to make 1000$ even if you move up stakes, where as in a MTT it could take 5 hours to win 1000$ in a 10$ buy in MTT. The question you have to ask yourself, is how often you will win the tournament and will it be profitable over the long run.

On low levels (up to $11) the tournaments often have bad fast structure what for strong player is worse because of dispersion. And here there is much of a game in SnGs. Higher the best choise is tournaments.

stedy $$$ - sng
1$ into 10000000000$... i may have added to much zeroes, but I hope you see my point.

sng is a tournament varioation of cash games. you play 50 of them a day with proper srategy = profit.
mtt on the other hand, you will lose money or min cash in 100 of them and the you will finish 1st or 2nd and thats you big WIN!

For a big score you have to play MTT, because winnings are higher.

Of course a lot of money to be won in the MTT, but the chance of this is very small. If the SNG 9-max, a chance for the 3rd place 1: 3, and for the first 1: 9, the MTT, just a chance to get in the shortest prise encourages 1: 7, and for the first 1: 180, 1:360, 1:1000, 1:400 etc. And if you take into account the distance, and your kings will be lost to pair of 10, after the game in 8 hours. It is better to play a lot of the SNG. But if you have a lot of time, it is best MTT.

With tournaments if you end up in one of the ' in the money ' positions you get paid very well , but the matter is that its very difficult because of the large field of the players , the great variance , so must have a big bankroll , 200 buy ins , to attempt play in one of them and of course you must have sharpened your poker skills .

For these goal to be achieved , you should first play SNG because they have a smaller player field , less skilled players , they are easier to be played , they require a smaller bankroll , they have less variance , you can find them 24/7 and you can begin earning money and learning how to play a SNG at early middle and late phase ,either to a 9 , 45 , 90 ,180 or 360 players .

When you feel you can earn money easily from sng you can proceed to the more difficult MTT . So you take money from sng , you build a bankroll and you invest it to mtt . If you play at 888 poker there are the steps that help even more earn cheaper tickets for sng 0.1$ or 1$ .
