Despite playing a lot of freerolls, I have a preference for cash tournaments

Tournaments - more fun, more experiences. Also you can practice different type of the play depending on the phase of the tournament

I prefer tournaments, I feel more comfortable there in the long term and also the illusion of hitting a great prize always keeps me, I can't find myself in cash and it's all very immediate I feel that there is little room for revenge if you don't have many boxes

I prefer tournaments, in tournaments I'm more profitable, in cash it seems that the variance for me is greater, because in the same way that I win, I lose afterwards.

Tournaments have time references. That's why I prefer cash

I gave up cash games, too much of a grind to turn a small profit. Occasionally you can get on a good streak but I found two thirds of the time was a losing session.

I like to play in tournaments. Cash games are also interesting, but for me personally they are more difficult.

I also prefer tournaments more.
I gave chances to cash games several times, but somehow I'm not profitable on them, while in tournaments I'm performing way better with positive ROI.
In Cash somehow I usually end up with ~$2.50 (playing in NL2 w/ $2 buy-in) or I simply lose the whole $2. So if I have four good sessions but then lose the $2 I'm already again at a big 0. Maybe (for sure) I'm doing something wrong but don't know yet what, so it's not that enjoyable now.

I'm more interested in playing tournaments, because there is a competitive element of the game. But in terms of game session time, I prefer HU SnGs. Cash games is similarly more convenient, because you can end the game session at any time. But for some reason I don't like to play cash games...

Cash is more consistent and predictable.

At the moment I prefer tournaments, I don't know but I have much more fun than in cash. I feel that you have to have a lot of money in the cashier to be able to play in cash.
I prefer tournaments to cus for cash need to have a lot of time. I think for play cash game need to be your main job

without a doubt I prefer tournaments, I was never profitable in cash games, I only lost money until today hehehe, but in tournaments the story is different, but to be fair I never studied anything about cash games and I delved more into MTT

I particularly prefer tournaments, for me they are more relaxed.
