Throughout my poker playing career, I have always chosen tournaments because it gives me more opportunity to win back and since the buy-in is a little less than what I would spend on a cash game, it is the best choice for me.

Cash for online tournaments. I agree that it is difficult to get to the tournament due to lack of money (especially online, because I don't play anything super-big).

When I started playing, I only played cash games. It may seem silly to you, but I did not know anything about the existence of MTT! And as soon as I found out, I immediately started playing there, now I only play in tournaments. In the cache, of course, it's good! You can earn a lot at once, but you can also lose everything you have.

I prefer the MTT tournaments for the reason of the big prize on little investment. It seems with tournaments it is a lot more about the preflop game whereas cash games seem to be a lot more about post flop. So cash games give me more experience on post flop play. So there is a balance I feel like I am getting from both.

It all depends on the mood and free time. In general, I combine cash games and tournaments. But in general, I like tournaments more because they bring me more money.

For me tournament poker is the best choice. Cash tables are not for my nerves. There you can lose a lot of money in a short time, unlike tournament poker. The ability to win tournaments is an art.

I like tournaments more than cash, cash is very boring for me. the blinds don't go up, nothing puts pressure on you, there is no competitive factor. Tournaments bring more emotions of any kind

I don't play cash games. I prefer tournaments, and I especially like freerolls. I don't play cash games because I usually lose money in them.

cash, although I like to play tournaments, time is an essential factor for those of us who have another job.

Tournaments only, I dont like cash games,

Mainly because in tournaments if you get consecutive good runs you start to be recognized and visuals,

Cash games one good hand in a bad combination could tear everything apart

I like both but many times I don't have a lot of time to devote to playing and with cash games I can leave when I want

Cash Game

Without a doubt, Cashgame. The overwhelming majority of my poker activity is cash games. In addition to not having much patience for long tournaments, I don't have much time available for slow or regular tournaments. But the main advantage is that sometimes you win relevant values in a few good hands you are dealt, and you can even fold whenever you want.

But I do play tournaments, although less than cash games.

What do you play more? Cash or mtt? What do you like to play the most?


i would say anyone who has love for the game like both it varies and depends on time and mood for which you're playing, in a cash game you can opt out and leave when you feel like, but in a tourney you have to endure as it is an endurance game, and cant leave until the final table is completed

I only play tourneys,and only the freeroll ones,and its really fun,i dont have the pressure of losing and such.In cash games ive always felt stressed when a big pot is being played.Due to that stress,I always play a bit differently than usual,and that makes me lose money on the long run.

Now I'm focus on tournments, but I play a lot of cash game online. But Cash game is one modality very difficult for players callstations that just want to go for see the river.
Tip for Cash game that I learn:
Bleff the less as possible, play more value, and play more value in position. When you have value play hard and strong in boards that can be worst if goes to show down

Money

Good morning, so weak I prefer money, but my experience at the cash tables I think it still is, because I've been playing freeroll for a long time and I think this influenced my current profile, that I stop playing freeroll because as the saying goes:

"Anyone who is very fond of bats wake up upside down."

Truth. We are the result of what we practice.
When we dedicate a lot of time to something small, we decrease the chances of evolving.
