serious advice
when reading the thread that DTW started it got me thinking about my cash game and mtt game, now everyone knows i just love my sit and go's, but i decided to take my cash game and mtt game to the next level, so played a few cash games on the 2/4 p levels and was both profitable sessions but if i am honest i dont think cash is the best way forward for me, so today decided to enter for the £3.30 £50 GTD, 36 entries so prize money of around £108, just finished the tournament and to be honest i have hacked to the win, suffered one bad beat when my AQ got cracked by A8 when we were 3 handed but all in all i thought it was pretty easy, so decided to check my stats on sharkscope and am very surprised that they look ok (i think) i am now totally thinking about leaving the stt's behind and may just concentrate on mtt's. are these stats good enough for me to cope in the mtt's? you can see that i am not a big spender and cant afford to play the big tournaments on sky so will only be playing the low levels around the £5 and £10 mark. shall i gibve this a serious shot or stick to what i am good at on the DYM?

As you are a successful dym player i would say play those to make money, and use them to finance the mtt's.
It is very tough to solely earn a decent amount from mtt's as someone mentioned above due to variance, but when you do have a nice win like the one u mention above its a huge boost to your bankroll.
So if your dyms gives you guaranteed profit, you can use this to fund your mtt's without your bankroll dwindilling and adding pressure on you to get that big result if this was your only poker income.
i think the key here webby is the variance,you proberly well capable of playing mtts but you can go 10,20 even 30 mtts without having a sniff of the cash,then you can cash in say 3 or 4 outta ten and everything looks rosy.what i do is play cash,get so your not a losing player(which you will)build your BR up so when the variance kicks in on your mtts it don,t affect you or your mindset then when you hit a hot streak it will start to show in your BR.thats my view anyway m8 gl in your play
EDIT:dammit dan got there before me
lets go for it i am in, innit!!!!
I don't have the time, commitment or ability to make a living at poker so I enjoy my nightly mtts. You need to determine first of all what you want from poker. If, as with me, it's something to run second to your family etc. then mtts are fine. Making a living means playing predominantly cash and takes a massive amount of dedication and commitment.
From what I've seen, you have a lot of ability, you just need to decide what you want from that ability.
NL30 has a BB of 30p on this site.
The slight problem when comparing with posts on other forums about levels is that generally the standard unit of currency is US$ as opposed to pounds sterling so Sky Poker levels are not quite the same as other sites.
