MTT sandwich

I love MTTs, even though it's hard to make a lot of money playing them. My favorite type of MTT is 8-game, followed by no limit hold'em. The average field size for an MTT 8-game is just over 50 players; the average field size for an MTT NLHE is well over 700 players. For that reason, I've nicknamed MTT NLHE tournaments "massives" :-) There's never a shortage of massives to play, due to the extreme popularity of NLHE. MTT 8-games, however, are much fewer and further between. I've struck upon the ideal way to maximize my MTT enjoyment during a session - to make an MTT sandwich :-) The bread in the sandwich is composed of MTT NLHEs, and the meat in the middle is an MTT 8-game. Last night, I made the money in one of the slices of bread tournaments and in the meat tournament.
