Cash games or tournament and why?

#1 10th December 2017, 5:06 PM

I choose tournaments for me to play comfortably and most importantly, I for one hand will not lose a lot of money in cash games.

I like cash game and tournament. When time allows, I play tournament. Tournaments are good, can bring a lot of money. You gain experience, especially against weak players to play. You discipline yourself. Clearly and clearly you get your mistakes, which are easier to analyze. The advantage of cash games is not tied to time.

Last time I playing Spin and go tourneys and mtt

#4 11th December 2017, 4:07 PM

I usually run two tables, one with a cache game and the other MTT

#5 11th December 2017, 4:20 PM

Everyone chooses what he likes best. Someone does not have time to play long tournaments. I like them.

#6 11th December 2017, 4:24 PM

Depends on the mood, sometimes I want to play cache sometimes in a tournament

#7 11th December 2017, 4:35 PM

I completely agree with you,I also play tournaments...

#8 11th December 2017, 6:37 PM

I play tournaments and spin and go. I like tournaments for a big prize, and spin and go for a high intensity of the game. Although recently my results in any game have dropped dramatically to incredibly bad.

mostly cash with a few mtt's during the week.

I'm for a cash-games.
Freedom of choice and absence of time frames, selection of tables, stable earnings etc.

If you are ready for a multi-hour game on a schedule, then tournaments are more interesting and profitable option.

#12 15th December 2017, 2:30 PM

I play tournaments for one reason because I can not lose a lot of money ...

#13 15th December 2017, 2:41 PM

If you wanna win in poker, before everything, play with worse players than you, ever

#14 15th December 2017, 5:01 PM

I choose tournaments , because simply I'm bad at cash games lol plus tournaments are fun and very ambitious , it's a big challenge to go deeper in a tournament and the prizes are very interesting

#15 15th December 2017, 5:25 PM

I pick to play tournaments, mtts for me are the best thing in poker.

#16 15th December 2017, 5:41 PM

I like cash games more. Cash games give much more opportunities to earn money than any other form of poker.

#17 15th December 2017, 7:59 PM

If you have lots of free time you can play tournaments, of course, but if you will go well in the tourney, you really need lots of time to win something really special.
If you can play only a few hours, better to play zoom, or at least cash games.

#18 15th December 2017, 8:01 PM

I do not know why but cash for me it is something hard, maybe cause i play only tournaments freerols.

#19 15th December 2017, 10:25 PM

in the cash games are very painful losses to the worst starting hands, which win in the last streets. Patience and perseverance in them need more than in tournaments

#20 16th December 2017, 2:16 AM

I used to only play tournaments but I am beginning to like cash games more and more. I can spend several hours in a tournament to only win a small amount, in a cash game I can do that in a shorter amount of time.

#21 16th December 2017, 1:47 PM

I play cash games live and tournaments online. Where I live there is not a lot of good tournament games offered that the pot is worth the risk.

#22 16th December 2017, 2:41 PM

I think for beginners it is better to start in tournaments.There is a clear limit for how much you can lose and how much you can win.

#23 20th December 2017, 3:11 PM

I choose tournaments I like the style of play that apply strategies and the ability to earn a good amount for a buy in small

#24 20th December 2017, 8:32 PM

I play small tournaments where prize is good. IT is certainly harder to stay concentrated through the whole tournament, but you lose less money if you bust, it is more interesting than cash games. Advantage in cash games is that if you are not concentrated anymore or you feel like not playing you can just go.

#25 20th December 2017, 10:38 PM

For me it's better to mix mtt and cash. It helps to refresh brain.

#26 26th December 2017, 2:50 PM

I like tourments. But i always to play cash game

#27 26th December 2017, 4:05 PM

I like to play tournaments because of the intense struggle for the first place, which is the goal of any tournament !!!

#28 26th December 2017, 7:56 PM

Big field turbo MTTs are where I have had the most success - I like to play cash too but my results are not nearly as good.

Navigating a short stack against other players is more fun to me than when everyone is deep-stacked.

Good luck to you!

I prefer tournaments because I usually play better over a longer period and I can read opponents better and thus be able to play better poker. But if I have little time I prefer to play cash and not have problems when I have to leave my house.

#30 11th January 2018, 2:12 AM

I more prefer cash game but I sometimes play tourneys (freerolls are general) as well. I really don't like SNG, if I play them I do it rarely and only for fun. I would say tournaments take more patience and discipline. I really hate it when you play in a tournament for hours and blow it just because of a ridiculous cooler or something. That's why I like cash game more.

#31 11th January 2018, 4:42 AM

Cash because that’s what I play live and beating the game online translates to large sums live. I use it as practice per se

#32 11th January 2018, 8:53 PM

I choose a freeroll tournament and not a cash game because my level of play is not so high, and in tournaments I will improve my level of play.

#33 12th January 2018, 12:33 AM

Different disciplines require different approaches to bankroll management, and therefore less risk in freerolls and they are more to my liking.

#34 14th January 2018, 11:16 AM

I choose where I feel comfortable most of all, for me it's Tournaments (MTT)

#35 14th January 2018, 1:42 PM

I like playing tournaments, so I do not lose so much if the cards do not help
