Little children of the poker world, I know you are so intent to become a 'shark' and that you fold those 57's as if they are doomed to fail and all-in every KK like you know the Aces won't hit but listen to me; you are playing too tight and unfortunately you are terrified, you are playing like a scared little rodent facing the mightiest street cat of the city.
Why do you fear so much? It's not your fault, if my placing in a tournament was at stake and the entire series of hands I just won could all be taken in 2 big blinds because of the stage in the tournament, I'd be playing like a scared mouse too.
See my children, daddy Madman has the answer to all your terror; you can face bullying in cash games by folding as well! Yes, you can fold just as much! Wow! Guess what you can also do? Risk losing an all-in and not have your time wasted! You can lose one all-in and win 3! Wow! Amazing!
It doesn't matter if you're Negreanu or some transsexual gender fluid who no one has heard of in the mist of reality half ghost half alive. You can be whoever you are and dominate cash games through long term, disciplined play (not too disciplined with starting hands though, TAGers are easy as 1+1=2 to read). Anyway, do whatever you like but if you want to actually EARN cash and not tell your parents how you need $200 more to survive this month because 'the cards didn't come your way' then play a game where your variance early on isn't worthless if your variance later on is unfortunate. Who on Earth is going to justify that if you play perfect all tournaments and run on steroids with full house here and straight there that it all can result in you bubbling due to a series of suck-outs at the wrong stage of the tournament. In a cash game if you'd played well, you'd lose less than you profited if you're understanding bet sizing and proportional risk-taking. So your past 30 mins of gameplay didn't amount to you losing money but simply gaining slightly less due to a little bad luck.
