somewhat ... if you are pressed by the blinds in the tournament there is no freedom, but on the other hand, if you do not like the players at the cash game you can change it immediately
I like tournament games.. but they tend to draaaaaag on.. I prefer sit n go's or cash games.. depending on when I start a tourney if it goes too late.. something always comes up and distracts me or i just get tired and start making stupid mistakes
