Cash. MTTs are for crazy people
Are you calling me crazy?
. Oddly, my consistency in these does not seem to translate to the league games. I guess I rely on the other players making more mistakes.

I think you're actually wrong here ^ (although I'm not sure which site you're playing your SNG's on). imo the $10 sng's (even the $5's if VERY late at nite (00:00 & later)... or early during the weekdays, the play is far superior than the CC Sng league games... (< where you'll get a couple/few players on each table who are sng players & a bunch of others who aren't & are more used to playing small field priv. tourneys). Far better players in typical online SNG's (I wouldn't say this for Pokerstars though as the micro buyin sng's on that site are FULL of very bad players).
Some may disagree with me on this (fine). BUT I know it for fact as I have a fairly large sample size to compare it with (in a typical $5 or more so a '$10' sng/stt on Fulltilt, during the time of day when there's more regs. & less randoms, you'll typically see at least 4 winning players on the $5's, and 5 or more on the $10's).
Just sayin'... don't sell your own play short. I'm pretty sure you're one of the better sng players who plays in the league (you are if you're a winning online SNG player).
It might just be my transition from live to online play. Obviously not understanding the diff between the two yet. But i feel i wouldnt substitute a 1-2 live game for any tourney online.
Then again, uppin the buy-ins might help as well.
I don't understand this ^.... you're talking about comparing apples with oranges here (live $1/2 vs. online tourey play??).
Online play is actually far superior if you're comparing the two. In a recent thread I read which had many of the top online MTT regs., they typically compare the WSOP ME with an online $26'r... and something like WCOOP there'd be no comparison to in live tourneys.
Many say that online 10nl is comparable to live $1/2 (this is a pretty fair comparison imo... depending upon what site you're on & what time of day/week.... imo there's alot more decent players in the 10nl online than there is in live $1/2).
Another article I read awhile back (in BLuff Mag)...the author compared the two by stating, "A reg. winning $5/10 casino donk, who typically plays 3-4 days a week would be busto in short order if he chose to play at the same limits online. I think all would agree with this.
one last comparsion for ya.... a local live $75 buyin Tournament in my area (100+entrants, starting stack of 120bb's), generally has far worse players in it than a Cardschat Fulltilt Freeroll (I say 'generally' as there's some who are very good players at the live tourney.. just not many... & there's also some who aren't very good in the freerolls... but many who are quite good).
Also, as far as your online MTT experience goes... perhaps you're comparing a very small sample size of micro buyin level tourneys to live games. not sure?
