One day you will have an epiphany...  I just spent my 15th $1 MTT trying to wade through 3000-5000 people, and I played for 4 hours and gained $2.38.  Ok....well I just played an hour of .1/.25 and made $24.  I don't see the comparison when looking at trying to achieve my ultimate goal--win $$.

I had just gotten knocked out of my umpteenth $10 MTT drooling at that $8,000 top prize and got frustrated because yet again I didn't get there.  So I tilted and sat down at a $10/$20 limit game.  WAYYY over my br management.  On my 3rd hand I caught a set of 5's and raked a $420 pot.  2 minutes of my time.  That's when I understood that for time spent, ring was more in line with trying to achieve my main goal.

Now I am NOT advocating that risking your entire roll is a good thing--it's not, it's stupid.  And MTT's are a great way to learn the game of poker and see a great number of hands for a fixed price.  However, for myself, I dove into learning ring and understanding the game from there.  Now I'll only play MTT's for a change of pace.  It's whatever you get a better feel for and whatever you believe can get you to your ultimate goal.

Set up and write down your goals.  Then attack that system to learn and achieve those goals.  Wherever you are most comfortable will create the least resistance for success.  Just always try and learn and always set up a structure that you can direct your actions towards your ultimate goal.

Cheers
