I particularly like to play both and some satellites when I have a comfortable bench.

Actually with so many online teams on the pitch hiring amateur players to become regular future players the games are full of regular players and few recreational games, so the MTT is being the best option and the variance is a bit higher.

If I want to have an adventure and really mix up my LAG and TAG hybrid playstyle, MTT for sure. There's always a couple fish per table of 9 you can trick so easily.

If I want to simply play tournament very seriously and disciplined for the sake of playing a tournament (as maybe my cash game session is boring me) then SnG.

I prefer cash tables or some sit for the time that implies playing mtt, sometimes I play some satellites but I try to be turbo or hyper

Satellites are a great way to get into some bigger buyin tournaments without putting your bank roll at risk.

I play both in games and in tournaments at the same time and for me it's normal, or I run two tournaments, and there are players who play only tournaments and they do not like the cash games, but I like everything connected with tournaments or cash games, the main thing is that the bankroll was you had a desire to play

I'm playing in the cache but choosing between MTT and Sit & Go, I would choose Sit & Go.

I prefer to play a SNG because it is faster and has a total limit of MT players already and more players and lots of donkey on the tables!

You can earn more money on the tournament and it's better for the money.

SNG vs MTT

Can anyone summarize the key differences between SNGs and MTTs?

I feel a llitle lost playing MTTs at times. Playing 9 handed on the bubble is a little uncomfortable and I'm not even sure when we are on the bubble with over 100 tables in action.

Any advice?

*By SNG I mean standard single table tournament*

Main difference I see is more opponents. I find in multi table games, no matter how well I play there's always someone with a bigger stack on another table. I do try and keep the lobby open to see how many people are left standing and how close I am to the prize.

I don't think there's much difference other than that as you can also get multi table SNG's

Play what you like best. To play MTT need more time, not all players have it.

The tournaments are more than the tables are the best.

I'd say in that situation, providing they pay 9-12 places out of 100, the bubble would start around 15-22 players respectively.

I really can't get well with cash games inspite of understanding its high profitability. I always get unlucky and bad beated even following all suggestions. Sometimes I get tilted after a badbeat so I prefer Tourneys or Sit&Go tourneys for max 45 persons cause I can pull myself together before a tourney and get down to business from a fresh start;) Any advices on how to face this cash loosing series?:confused:

SnG puts you against regular poker players much more often. On a MTT set of tables you are most likely against 2 fish playing for a thrill for every 9 opponents you face at the very least.

I am also a satellite fan because of this option not because of my bankroll at risk.

micro to low(?mid) stackes does not really matter, you will have old stated pros/cons the question comes up what will you do when you want high lims to play. Sngs are basicaly dead on high levels... even mid have a samll tight field(maybe in some other rooms you will have different options, but PS - definetly). On the other hand you can find fish(weak regs if you will) even in 215$ bounty builders. SO if you are planing on a long road I would say MTTs... or cash =)

Everyone tells you that MTTs are the way to go but im starting to favor sit n goes particularly because the MTT grind can be really tiring especially when youre drawing dead and just waiting on premium hands/ getting moved as soon as you start getting some info on the players at your table.
