Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6132425, member: 397965"] I agree, that its best to focus on either cash games or tournaments, but I dont consider MTTs and SnGs to be completely different disciplines. After all a SnG is just a tournament with a small field, and some of them are actually MTTs as well. PokerStars for instance have several 18 man, 45 man, 90 man and 180 man SnGs running. And regardless of the number of people playing the tournament you still have blinds, that go up, you still have antes (at least on most sites these days), and the goal is still to outlast the other players rather than to win chips. Sure there are some things, that are special for SnGs, like the rather extreme nature of the bubble in a 6-man or 9-man. But if this is enough to say, that we should select to either play SnGs or MTTs, then we should also not play satellites, since they have an even more extreme bubble, and we should not mix up games with or without bounties either. What I am trying to say is just, that while its good to specialise and focus, to much specialisation can also be a problem, since it will artificially limit our game selection. And it might also lead to boredom and a lack of motivation. If OP is going to spend some of his retirement playing poker, it surely needs to provide fun and not only a 500$ monthly profit. And for most people its more fun to try something different rather than grind the exact same games day in and day out. I think, PokerStars is the most realistic site to make 500$ per month playing only SnGs, simply because they have more games running than other sites. I have never done this myself, but I think, it should be possible to achieve this kind of profit by grinding 7-15$ SnGs on Stars, if you get really good at these games. [/QUOTE]
