Each player makes his own choice. In my opinion, you need to play the kind of poker in which you show the best result.

Tornys usually have a nice payout relative to the buy-in whereas cash games are usually a grind unless you're in high stakes.

But overall, in my opinion, if you're a "by the numbers" player, you're better off in cash games. If you're a sneaky, strategic, gambling sob, then go for mtt's because you ain't making final table without taking risks and winning some coinflips unless you grind some serious volume.

I rather long mtts play personally and hate the grind. So yeah :p

I prefer tournaments. Cache games are unprofitable for me.
Most of all I like the bounty tournaments.
Good luck.

Which one would you rather play ?

It is also a question of having fun. If you enjoy what you're doing, you'll most likely do better. It will be easier to focus and play long sessions.

Personally I like a lot much tournaments, cause there is a competitive aspect. At the end, there is a winner and ranking that defines clearly how good I have done, whereas it's not that clear in cash games. But that's just my personal preference :)

You can make money in different games. That depends on what you will better like. You need to try to play cash and tournaments and after that choose something, where you can show better results. Anyway, if you want to win in poker, you need to learn how to play poker.

If want to be a "famous" player you will need to learn to pay tournaments.If you don't have patience, like me, you can try cash table, as you can exit at any time.

I most like tournaments. And of course you decide for yourself. We need to play and cache and tournaments to understand what's best.

Everything depends on you. If you are a good player in tournaments then play tournaments. Or vice versa. In short, where you better get there and play.

Play those games in which you are more comfortable and more pleasant to play! The game where you experience more positive emotions is your game) At first I could not decide for a long time with the choice of cache or MTT and eventually realized that MTT to me to play is much more pleasant and easier! But for you such tournaments can be less suitable, build on your feelings!:rolleyes:

I'm more of a numbers oriented player, but am still a tournament player. I find cash games more dull because they have no variety in terms of chip stack etc. And there is no real end to a cash game

You need to understand that in the event you can't risk your stack in a cash game. In the cache encourages an aggressive style of play when you push on the opponent, constantly at risk, even if you lose the weak hands, then rebuy after you all paid, when you come to average hands.

A very significant difference in terms of psychology. In tournament play the psychological aspects more. For example, the game on the bubble, when to hit the prizes is a bit players. For example, the money 180 people, left 200, your opponent's stack is less than the average. Of course, he would not unnecessarily risk, and here, using his desire to get into the money, you can squeeze the opponent is more aggressive game. In the cache is absent, where each hand by itself. The tournament is constantly changing the ratio of stack to the blinds, the so-called number M. It completely changes game strategy during the tournament. If at the beginning of the tournament with a hand all-ins, and speeches cannot be, and re-raise you can throw your hand while the big blind you will often play differently, and when the blinds represent a significant portion of your stack, with the same hand you justifiably go all-in. If the cache you have, for example, AJ, then and now, and a hundred hands it will have the same hand, and you will play exactly the same. And the tournament draw the same hand every time due to many different factors.

I think it's more difficult to play cache, at each table there are some good regular players I do not like cache just singing and tournaments play.

if you are looking to win money on a consistant basis, then i would say cash games. you can literally double or more your money in one hand and can get up and leave. in a tournament, depending on the stakes and payout, you might sit there for hours and not win anything. but if you do win a tournament , you win big. its really a matter of opinion and thats mine.lol
