Great thread, great advice, but I have a quibble.
People should play what they love and what they are good at. For me, that's SNG. I tried everything. I suck at cash, I'm OK at MTT, but I'm really good at SNG. I play 95% STT, and an MTT once in a while for variety.
I find cash boring without the tournament strategy factor. In fact, part of the fun of tournaments is that if you trap a guy, he's out, and you have all his chips. What fun is it when he can just reload?
I know I wouldn't do half as well playing cash as I do SNG. I think if I played cash at an equivalent level, I would be lucky to break even. I moved up from $5 to $10 SNG in June, and my ROI for the month was 22.3.
I read a thread recently where a new player said several times that he really likes SNG, but was going to play cash, even though he doesn't like it, becasue all the experts here told him that's what he should do.
I told him he was making a big mistake.
