I like playing online tournaments because of the thrill! I have made many final tables lately and it feels good every time knowing with 50+ and 100+ people and i made it all the way LOL... Also you can win big for very little!!!:D

I have to admit that I prefer live cash games.I think cash games more exciting than on line games.

Cash games were a maximum of 30/60 for $ 1500. In tournaments I don’t play much time

I enjoy tournaments online but I don’t really like them live it’s too slow and tough to keep mental sharp. Can multiple table online too
Same for cash games but not as much I can tolerate live cash games more so than live tournament

Tournaments all day.

Cash swings are just too brutal. Unless you're bankrolled to the nines, one monster cash game suckout can cripple you, regardless of your skill. With tourneys, you know exactly how much bankroll you're risking, for exactly how much potential reward. And good play, mathematically, will carry the long-run day.

I played mostly cash for a number of years... in the past 2 or so, I've been playing many more tournaments. I've actually been having a tough time going back to proper cash game strategy when I decide to play cash

Are you playing more patiently in the tournament and aggressively playing cash?

tournament is safe
u just can win extra money by winning a couple of hands
and if u lucky and play well u win a huge money
on the other side, ur balance is on the risk if u play cash game
the tournament is wise to choose

Unfortunately at the moment the biggest part is in the winter series for 5. I am not a gambler, I just like the game, the very essence of it. And when you go to the final table, it's more than a victory. This is a very cool feeling.

I prefer to play in tournaments, I think it is much more interesting than a cash game, but sometimes I play cash games.

I did not play on such large limits, as there is no money for them. I'm going to play tournaments for $ 50, but I understand this will not be soon.

What do you prefer to play?
And what is the most expensive table you played
I played at $ 20/40 (Min $ 400)
What was your bankroll at such limits? I would also like to try myself at such limits. I have never played there.

I prefer tournaments over cash games, i think cash games have much more luck involved in my opnion, since you can play alot more hands if you have a big bankroll, also i think you learn much more things in tournaments

I like tournaments more, but I need to have a lot of free time. And if there is only an hour, then I play cash games.

I think cashgames are more gambling and unpredictable. In tournament your acquired skills decide of win and give you more pleasure of the game.
