if you're playing for an 'hourly rate' then why would you even begin to consider playing in a $2 MTT in the first place?
The way I look at it, I'm playing recreationally but also with the goal of building up my bankroll while doing so. MTT's are great for this.
I try to separate the money thing from playing poker... ie. I can have just as an enjoyable time playing poker in a CC freeroll as I can in a bigger buyin MTT. I'm playing to play poker... not with the sole purpose being the prize money. Sure I play to win (who wouldn't?) but the monetary value isn't really all that important,.. if it was I'd be depositing $5K and playing solely in bigger buyins.
I like the comment above too about looking at the return on your investment (and with limited risk.... the most you can lose is your buyin.. hey.. you won 4x that... but also the chance to win far more if you go deep in one of them).
