I made the same switch in January, I went through the same thing. You don't see as many sick calls in ring games as you do in tournaments. I think that this is because the only part of the tournament when the stacks are 100 Bs is the first round. The Increasing blinds force players to open up their play and do things they would never do in a ring game. I thing the average ring game player plays alot better than the average SnG player. It took me a while to get the hang of it but I love it now, I play 2000 hands a day and I win on my good days, and break even on my bad days ( which are getting few and far between ). I find that the constant deep stack compared to the blinds takes alot of the luck out of the game. Give it some time, you'll never want to go back to SnGs. Good Luck!
