Let me preface my comments by saying my experience too limited to be accurate. My question is which type of online game is the most profitable to the profitable players on this site?
1) Full table limit ring games
2)Short (5-6 max) table limit ring games
3)Full table NL ring games
4)SitNGo tourneys
5)Multi-table tourneys
6)Games other than holdem
In my limited experience, I feel I'm better suited to limit short table games. If I do my homework and make sure I'm sitting at a table with at least a couple of players whom I know are poor players I am having great success. In short table games where there isn't this type of player I don't find it worthwhile to sit there because somewhere there is a better mix of player available.
I also (again short term) am having decent luck at the SitNGos but am wondering what kind of profit you guys are experiencing. What I am trying to get a handle on; is what is a sustainable profit level from these type of games. In limit hold'em we all know that 2 BB/hr is pretty good and 3 BB/hr is extremely good. What is a comparable level in SnG tourney play?
As a sidenote, the reason I like short table games is I feel I can get a read much quicker on my opponents than a full table game. Thus, quickly establishing which players are the type I am looking for. Once I have located these players, with a short table I feel you can isolate these players more efficiently than in a full table game and not have as many other quality players "feeding" off of that player at the same time. I also find that most players at these tables don't make the necessary adjustments to play at these type games.

I've found HE Sit N Go's and Pot Limit Omaha games to be the most profitable for me.

Omaha high-low, full ring game or shorthanded, and 6 player max hold-em games.
