    I wanted to ask, is it profitable to multitable SNG's and at the same time play few MTT's or it's just waste of money? Playing SNG's is pretty much mechanical process, but if you want to get deep in MTT's and break through fields of thousands to make some money you have to pay close attention, get some reads etc. How do these guys like shaundeeb play 20+ tables mixing SNG's with MTT's and still make FT at MTT's?

    I think that there are few factors why he can get deep into MTT's while playing bunch of SNG's:

    1. He plays high stakes MTT's and SNG's and in high stakes MTT's fields aren't so big (not so much players as in low stakes MTT's), so he doesn't have to break through couple thousands. Yes, he plays those 5.50$ MTT's too, but main reason for playing those is TLB points and mostly he's freerolling through them.

    2. He pretty much knows all regs, knows their ranges and play style, so he doesn't have to pay that much attention on MTT's.

    3. He's inhuman.
    Anywayz, i come to conclusion, that's it's not profitable for me to multitable low stakes SNG's and play few low stakes MTT's. Main factors to come to this conclusion is:

    1. It's impossible to break through huge fields of players without paying attention to tables, which i can't abv do paralelly playing 10 SNG's, i wouldn't get important reads on players etc.

    2. I lack information about low stakes MTT's regs and i think there isn't that much of them.

    3. I'm not inhuman.

    So what's your thoughts about it? Is it just waste of money when you multitable SNG's and add some MTT's. I know it wouldn't damage my roll to play 5$ buy-in MTT while playing session, but i don't feel like it is "right"...

    shawndeeb has a ton of experience and he can play profitably in his sleep. Not to mention he smoke massive amounts of pot to stay cool headed. And full tilt is a way better site than stars for mtts. Not only are the tournament fields smaller but the prize pool is more top heavy which is good for good players. Like i played a tournament on stars recently with 180 people and 36 spots paid like WTF do they need to pay so many people for? I would say once you put in a big sample size of both and have experience multitabling both of them and have a positive ROI then you can give it a try.
