... or other tournaments.

Seems like most of the talk here (other than hand-by-hand analysis) is generally driven by the ring game experience. First two weeks of online poker that was all I played, and I've had a pretty good run, albeit the grind is still pretty slow.

However, just these past couple of days I started playing some sit-n-go's. Much fun! And way more profitable! $10/hour instead of $.50/hour.

Except... I'm reading that the tournaments have a lot more variance, so I'm probably just enjoying a little upswing variance.

So: do most people play the ring games for the reliability of it? Are there people grinding their way up via tournaments? Or is that for suckers?
