Hi and welcome to FTR, it's good to have you here.

I think that playing some STTs is a good way to improve your MTT game. A lot of the skills are similar and since you're immediately on the FT in a STT that's really good practice.

If you're bored at normal speed SNGs, then try turbos. You will need to develop your preflop push/fold game but that's a valuable skill. With a $1200 roll I'd play the $16 or $27 turbos at Stars (or equivalent at another site). If you want to play normal speed I'd say the $22s is where you want to be - move up to the $33s once you have about $1500 or so in your roll.

The other option is to play the $11 or $22/180 person SNGs - they're basically like unscheduled MTTs but have a pretty decent payout for the top few places, and they don't take quite as long as the huge field MTTs.
