It depends on how things go for you. I think you have the potential to earn more money in tournaments, but reaching the bubble isn't easy. Personally, I believe you have a better chance of making money from cash games, even though it might be less than in tournaments if you excel at both.

Well, both of the things can be profitable. It solely depends on the players. there are so many players who just play poker for living and they are making their end of the month balance profitable. But if you are looking for something done in quick span of time you should go for cash games as you will be having instantaneous results. On the other hand if you are patient enough to make or lose money, tournaments are best as you will have higher winning number with low bankroll if you are playing tight and running good.

Cash: Consistent profit for skilled players, smaller wins, less variance.
Tournaments: High variance, high potential prizes, long sessions, exciting.

I do preffer excitement :D

Everyone has to find in which game they can get the best out of themselves.
The advantage of the cash game is that you sit in with your money and get out when you want, immediately with money, in MTT you have to play for long hours to earn money, but at the final table you can already win a fortune if it's a game with such stakes weave.

To be fair i prefer cash games because it can make you win instantly rather than to play for 10 or 12 hours

For me, the most profitable thing was the tournaments, that's where I learned to update my strategies and apply the concepts of real poker.
Yes, I played cash games a few times but I wasn't as successful as in tournaments.

We play poker to win, to win we need to play against those who are weaker than us. Most of those who play poorly can be found in tournaments even at high stakes. I'm not saying that there are no weak real money players at all, but they will also have a large number of strong players, more than in tournaments. Therefore, for new players, I would recommend starting with tournaments.

Tournaments. You risk small amounts compared to what you can gain, the winnings are a multiple of the deposit, i.e. low risk. In cash games, you can get at best 4, 6 or 9 times your deposit by going all in when all players come in, with a longer game you can gain more, but the risk of loss is much greater.

I choose sit n go turbo shorthanded three tables at the same time because I enjoy it,a lot of poker action.To get rich playing cash game is probably the best choice,find bad players and win over them before someone else does.
