Apples and oranges

Lately, my overall balance has been decreasing, even though my MTT NLHE massive balance has been increasing. This is due to the combination of two simple facts:

1. I'm in an MTT 8-game slump
2. the buy in for MTT 8-games is 5 times the buy in for MTT NLHE massives

What I'm doing by playing both these flavors at the same time is essentially mixing apples and oranges - never a good idea. My solution for the time being will be to play MTT NLHE massives exclusively.
