Ok, firstly zach I obv respect you a massive amount as a poker player - especially in a cash game context where you seem to absolutely rape every level :).  I agree that the variance in MTTs is humungous compared to cash games and if I do indeed become an mtt grinder (which looks likely at least in the short term) I'm sure that there will be runs where I don't even cash for an incredibly long time.  But it is this ubervariance that keeps the mtt grinding exciting imo.  I know this is obv very easy to say off the back of a big score :) but loseloselose is a glorious precursor for the big win.  I also enjoy looking at a graph steadily rise, but I enjoy more the euphoria I get when I make it to the ft and hu of a massive mtt, something that I've been lucky enough to experience twice in my life so far.  Not only this but as you mentioned - having 20 ppl come and encourage you is really quite an amazing feeling as well, a mix of importance and invincibility which obv leads to happiness.  So in a way I play tourneys coz I <3 railers :p.   Overall tourneys combine a little bit of grind (not a bad thing by any means) with happy cuddly feelings so mtt > cash games which have ubergrind properties + a more subdued happiness over time which does not = euphoria.

Oh and yes, I'm BRMing like a biatch - no tourneys over $30+3, and I still can't decide how much to withdraw...
