Tourney play is much better than cash play, especially if your losing. Also, you can spend 3 hours doing well in cash games, make one mistake, and you're back on the couch.
In tourney play, you get much more for your money; chance of a really good payout; and much longer play (if you want).

I play primarily tournaments. I feel like I get the most bang for my buck in them. I can buy in for $0.55 and play for a couple of hours coming out with 2-3 times my buy in. Whereas I can buy in to a cash table for a minimum and drop my entire load in a bad beat my first good hand.

Cash or Tourney
I find playing cash vs the tourney brings me more money. Tourneys are great, but they take a long time, and I get restless. It takes a lot of patience. So if you are lucky to hit a good seat on the cash tables, you can win quite a bit.

I agree with you here. I like being able to stop playing and not lose my status if I am stuck in a tourney! I too like to watch other players, and I make notes of their behaviors and betting skills (if they have any) and I like to win money fast. haha

The same thing happens to me, in online poker you are more recognized for winning tournaments than for winning in cash.

Cash is ok if you put in e.g. 1k eur and play for a month micro stakes 2h per day....and have strategy.
I can play good first hour. And triple. Show starts if I make one mistake and I lose all in next 10 mins as 1 error leads to 1 table out and 50% of winnings. I tilt.
Then I bet in tennis games best and breaks and I come back up lol or more then i lose cash and i tilt... i am compulsive gambler when playing cash....
At tourney i finish at FT if i play one one big tourney and focus on my opponents by my head not HUD.
It's like tennis if you have good first serve and starting chips it's ok. Every h i try to double it 45 mins and calculate it e.g buy in 20, double in 1h to 40 BB- 40 euros i have etc... i control better losses and barely make mistakes and unforced errors...
I just know how much opponent has and how weak it is..
On cash I have no clue if I am playing against someone who has 50 eur on 0.5 1 blinds or 10k or more...
I can play tournaments on my phone or tablet for 8 h while working, cooking, cleaning. I am right player on tournaments. I fold... when we get into prize pool I put my monitor and play for FT...
On cash I multitask on 4 or more and get brainwashed. Don't have selfcontrol. I start sport betting
On tournaments we are all igual. Either you are a pro, highroller or businessman. We all paid for the same ticket and have the same goal +-.
Cash I don't know if rich brat is tilting and rerasing me cause big boob model turned him down or if he has a small dick and its gambling for fun rerasing my AK KK AA with 97...?? And I have no patience to observe table before sitting in or something.
Tournaments are longer but more flexible in today's gadget world you can play and live your life then focus later and move to monitor and keyboard. If you don't develop nobody cares or tilts...e.g. I am on a treadmill playing, I loose, I will switch to spotify and shower, so what if i lost in 1 tourney 50 eur in 4h. I didn't win 500 eur in betting on tennis games and breaks then ended up at 0 lol...and I went think I lost 500 eur and think i am nuts and stop betting for 6 months etc...
My point is... I think you need to have self control for cash and patience and focus. I think cash must be played on 6 or more tables and having a bankroll of couple of thousands of eur to win.. or less and luck. I admire people who play 4h if cash per day and win for hud graphs... I can't even if I saved extra money for 4months and had good bankroll.. I am nuts..
I decided to play tournaments till end of the year. 1 good- once or twice per week. If I lose 300 eur per month I won't care its Corona. I don't go out anyway or go to beauty salons or gyms. ������ I have it in my house since Corona. But at least 1 of of 10 times I can enter FT and be in a small plus or a lot of plus!!!
Not like this month losing money on VAMOS RAFA, RUSH, and ****ing Barcelona.. since Valencia won I lost everything and more... sucks one thing at time, for me its tournaments

Hello, I think both have the same profitability as long as you play with the same profit in both modalities, it is clear that in Cash you can win and lose boxes but in tournaments you will play several times what sometimes you win a tournament that would be similar to what you would earn in cash.

I prefer MTT, I don't like cash and play only a few sit and go games, specially satellites. In cash I think we can feel like taking others money more clearly, and it get me worried, I prefer prefer to play with chips.
