I agree that, yes, if you can't handle the downswings that come with MTTs, then it might not be the right game for you.

2 important points about MTTs that players should know:

-MTTs are super high variance.  The deeper the field, the more variance.
-You will bust out of more MTTs than you cash in.

This doesn't necessarily mean you'll not profiting from them, but if you're looking at wins/losses on a per game basis, then you're going to lose every time. Take a look at any pro MTT player and I guarantee that they have busted out of more MTTs than they have cashed in.

Case in point, I have ~300 MTTs played on a site and have only cashed in ~50 of them. I've had stints where I go on 40 game down swings or I run even for 30+ games before my next big cash. However, I'm still profiting with a 123% ROI.

So, in terms of games cashed vs games busted, yeah...it's terrible, but profit wise, it's really good.

Another thing is, if you play micro-stakes like I do, you're going to run into even more variance because of the how bad players play. MTTs, especially micro-stakes, have some of the softest players out there.  That's what makes them so easy to beat, but at the same time, it's not an easy task to do so.
