It really depends on your personality. If you are a patience person you can play scheduled tournaments or cash tables with SSS strategy. If you are more aggressive you can play cash tables with another strategy or sit&gos. But my advice is try the 3 of them and play what you prefer!

i play both but not at the same time. i went for months just playing cash mainly for the points (on FTP you get lots of happy hours that give you double and sometimes tripple points) so its well worth doing.
But of late i've gone back to SnG's i do like the challenge and the pay off Ha Ha Infact i'll stick to SnG's for a couple of months now too.

Cash, more skill involved and a much more respected game, in a SNg etc ppl will "just" call or what have you cause they know all they will lose is th small BI at cash ppl think twice and make better choices. But they are all fun..

Cash for me - being permanently deep ( I always buy in full ) there's more play involved and more moves you can make. If you suffer a suck out - no bother just rebuy.
I play the odd torney too but SnG's bore me stupid.

I think they all require a lot of skill to win regularly, you have to very flexible for large MTT as luck just wont cut it, I reckon that SNG's would be the most basic but deep cash play is definitely the daddy. I've always wondered if the people playing 12-16 deep games at once actually make money?

I like to play cash because if i take a bad beat i rebuy in a tournament if someone with 17% chance call the all in i made to protect my hand and the miracle card hit, im off the mtt or sng after have invested a few hours... It drives me mad... Lol
Maybe in higher buy ins this doesent happen so often, right?

If im planning to not play for very long I play cashgames. For a longer sessions I usually play sngs (10people) and sometimes if I find a intresting sheduled tournament i play that one - usually happens once a week,
