I'm in exactly the same position as you Crunch except that I began in the ring and feel more comfortable there. I enjoy plahing SnGs more, so I am trying to transition over to that style of play now.

At the beginning of February I deposited $50 on Paradise and played the .01/.02 tables exclusively. I dropped to about $40 pretty quickly but then I tightened up a bit and learned how to bet for value and get the best out of my hands at that level.

I battled my way slowly over the past couple months at those levels and got my BR up to $110 and decided to make the switch to the $5+$1 SnGs. I did pretty well initially and boosted my BR to $140 over the past couple weeks.

I have been stagnant as of late, suffering in the tournaments - only 1 3rd place finish in my last 5 tourneys - while recouperating the losses in the .05/.1 ring. I have consistently been beating the ring games but it's not what I enjoy doing. It seem tedious compared to the fast action you get into late in the tournaments.

I will try to maintain my BR playing ring games while learing the ropes of the SnGs. The thing that I am having trouble with there is that I have been trying to be too aggressive and trying to double up on one hand too early (when taking 5 smaller pots would do the same thing).
