i couldn't agree with the above statement more. i think profitability of SNG's versus ring games comes down to the player's personality and playing style. if you're a bit of camper (not a rock) but want to play the hands you do play hard, an SNG isn't a bad place to be.

and like koolmoe said, about the time you're getting annoyed that you haven't had anything "playable" in the last 30 hands, you're down to 5 or 6 players and now that KJ or AT looks pretty good.
