Tournament play is awesome if your playing on a regular basis and can enter the same tourney everyday. I found cash games can be hard to filter through but once you can find some good tables it goes ok.

My schedule includes both. I have a list of tourneys i play and while they are running I search the cash game lobby for the best on the day. Once I find a couple cash games and have 2-3 ring games going, I might even bring up a couple of zoom tables too.

I play tourneys because I have plenty of time - you have to allow 3 hrs plus to make any decent money

"it depends"
generally speaking you're going to find weaker players on the tourney tables

I prefer single table SNG tourneys when I have time. I usually play cash because then I can leave whenever I want.

One day I feel like it's tournaments, and then a week later I'm in love with cash games again. So I finally decided why not both, which is what I do, but never at the same time. I may play cash early in the day and MTT's later, or I may play cash one day and MTT's the next. Today, for example, is strictly an MTT day. No cash. I love them both so I will continue to play them both.

I prefer cash games being an online player I can join or leave a table at my convenience
tournaments with decent returns for time spent can take too long

I prefer online poker! It is easy to explain - I do not know how to hide their emotions! My reaction is easy to lament, for example, when the river I get a flash, all the fold! All understand the power of my hand! Internet rocker suits me!

I like tournaments, but with my bankroll I can play only tournaments with micro buy-in! Why I love to play tournaments? Because they are training assiduity-without this you cannot get in big prises! One only brings discomfort unlike cache-you can not finish the game at any time((( Not once I had situations when I must to go somewhere in the middle of tournament(

I prefer tournaments because one can loose much money in short time in cash game, so I did. Yes, one can also win much money in short time, but this bad beats sometimes are sick and all the money is lost.

I play mostly only tournaments,because I don't like cash games.Too many lose there and playing push-fold with a short stack of habit.

tournaments are more fun cash games are more consistently profitable for good players.

I like playing deep stack tournaments with 15 minute (or more) blind levels because it allows you to play like a cash game.

Turbo tournaments are trash IMO. That's not real poker. It's like putting money in a slot machine.

Nowadays I prefer all of them :) but occasionally , I mean the 1$ goldfish or 1$sng 40 players on 888poker with step ticket or 0.10$ sng . I play them only because I get easily the tickets .Also freerolls for BR :) . Sometimes I play 2nl zoom for easy VPP/FPP/rake or for the challenges , and small/very small profit if I play carefully :)
