    Well no,

    Just depends on the level you are playing. You are just comparing low stakes tourneys with high stakes cash.

    Fire up a few £100 heads up tourneys and see how easy you find it.

    Unlucky. Good that you acknowledged it. 

    Cash is more difficult than tournaments though, so involves much more strat etc

    Think your a good enough player to at least hold your own at that level though. Don't let it put you off having another go in the future

    who plays low stakes tourneys?? and nl100 is not high stakes either. when you say fire up a few £100 heads up tourneys i presume you mean heads up sit and go's, that has nothing to do with my post!!

    The roulette tilt is easily solved, up to 6 years if you want. NL100 is something you build up to, its a massive jump from nl30/40/50 not so much in standard but actually hard cash you are putting on the line. They do say you shouldnt be playing stakes if you fear for the money you could lose, but when you jump into it straight away it takes some getting used to. 

    I think winning mtts gives you more of a buzz than taking down a decent size cash pot, unless its going to be on top of the pots!
