| Cash Game vs. Tournaments I was just wondering what people tend to do better in, cash games or tournaments. I've been playin small tournaments for over a year now and cash games for about 2 months. Oddly, I seem to do better in cash games. |

| Some do better at one type then the other. try to find the one you enjoy the most playing then just learn as much as you can about it to become a winning player. Even in cash games , there's a big difference in playing 6max tables then playing 9max..and also tourneys the turbos are diff then deep stack tourneys..you can also go 10-15 tourneys without cashing if your playing multitable tourneys like 360 players or more. If you like cash games stick with them you can do really well when you start moving up into the .50-1.00 and 1.00-2.00 tables online..cash games you can up and leave when you want .Tourneys are at least an hour even at the 9 player sit&goes to cash. Just remember having the right Bankroll for any type is critical for longterm success.. Good luck .. |

In lower buyins (micros) players will be cashing (ITM) much more regularly, but as you move up in buyins it is often fewer & farther between (top winning MTT players in HSMTT typically have ITM 9-11%, in micros you'll see 30% fairly often). |

| I personally enjoy playing cash games. I like the fact that you can sit down and get up whenever you want. Sometimes I get bored playing tourneys, but I still play them occasionally. You just gotta figure out which format you like the best and go with it. |

| Personal preference is obviously important here. I find I have a lot of patience and am quite good at cashing in MTTs (albeit rarely getting anywhere near a final table). But I find doing that far more enjoyable than being on the receiving end of some real donkey plays in the cash games. Maybe it's because my BR will only let me play micro-stakes but every time I try to play cash I end up getting cheesed off in a way that doesn't happen in the MTTs. Wondering whether to start playing cash when I'm able to play at a buy in level that is out of the reach for some of the donks you find at the micro-stakes. I might be wrong but I'm assuming that $1/$2 is a totally different experience to playing $0.05/$0.10. |

| re: Cash Game vs. Tournaments poker I am more of a tournament player, but on occasion I will sit at a cash game it usually depends on how much time I have, as far as profits go I am far more profitable with the tournaments. My cash game needs some work. |

| Tournaments. I have strict BRM though, at least 100 buy-ins per tournament (1% of BR), so the variance is not as big a loss for me. Also I play turbos as I feel my push/fold strategy is best. In Cash Games I feel like it's much too easy to lose a ton of money in a short amount of time. |

| I think being able to see the trends of individual players in cash games gives a bigger advantage to a conservative player, whereas tourneys make it more difficult to get a good bead on individual players. That said, right now I play more tourneys because I lack the time or funds to get involved in cash games. |
