I have realized that my tournament´s strategy has worked well for me, my losses always end up being in tables that are not tournaments, I raise my bankroll based on tournaments and I low it with the games
So I came to the conclusion of "Only tournaments" and I've been playing just sit and go and tournaments for a few days and my bankroll keeps going up, the thing is that I tought a player that is good at playing poker he should win everywhere but in my case it is not like that.

Does anyone else around here only play tournaments? give me an opinion,

A greeting and luck when you need it.

Cash game no limit holdem isn't my passion but it is undeniably where I excel best at. I find the fact you can lose real money in one hand or gain it fascinating from a psychological standpoint. You see this is what makes it less about luck and more about bluffing and exploiting opponents.

You can't really punish a LAG maniac after he takes your entire stack in a tournament, in a cash game as long as he's around, you can get your oh so sweet revenge.

Hi. Yeah there are lots of people that find cash games boring and only play tournaments, and also lots of people that find tournaments to have too much variance and too much finality (one suck-out and you're out) and only play cash. I personally like some of both.

Cash games and Tournaments are very different in their approaches. I, for one, suck at cash games, always have. Funny, because I started off as a cash game player and have some decent cashes in live games.

I strictly play Tournaments. And after about 27K SnGs and around 10K tournaments, I'm not going back to Cash games (ROI-wise, tournaments have been better for me). I can, in the off-season, may be try to learn cash games, but won't ever consider making it my bread-and-butter.

So my view, if you think tournaments are better for you, stick with it. If you think Cash games are better, then go for cash games. Its just a choice, choose the one that works better for you.

I play only tournaments, I do not know why, but I do not believe in cash games. The tournaments are just better, more emotion in my opinion and that is the main advantage why I play the tournaments.

I feel the same bro. Playing cash games is really boring also I always losing part of my bankroll when I decide to play for some time. Even if I win some I am keep playing and then some sh*t happens and taking a few bad beats which brings me at the start :)
