I like to play both. Lately i find more enjoyable MTTs but the problems is that they take time and with a job it's pretty hard making the time to play.
With cash games I manage to be profitable but often when i double up, one good hand can make me lose everything.
Finding difficult to respect a proper bankroll management,otherwise i would play both types. For now i will stick to cash.

You just need to play both of them and just understand, what will be better for you.
I know for sure, that some people can be good in cash games and they just can,t win anything at all in MTT,s. So just try both of them and after that try to focus on one thing.

all have their advantages and disadvantages. Certainly the least profitable is the sit n go.Entre cash and mtt I can say that in mtt you risk less than once only, being able to hit a big prize that sometimes depending on the tournament can change your life. Cash games mainly highstakes has the characteristic to make you win very much at once, sometimes in a hand. But you can lose too much. I personally prefer the Mtts, because they compensate when you win a big prize.

I prefer mtt tournaments. I do not play cash games. Usually I play slow tournaments, such as "Big" on pokerstars.

I agree with the cash games I’ll tend to do well and maybe double my buy in a few times, but feel I’m only one bad beat away from losing my bankroll, I have managed to final table a few MTTs, like I say the main problem I have is having the patience to build a decent enough bankroll so that the losses don’t become to much of a problem and keep me playing at a level I feel comfortable with

Cash games will be more profitable but higher risk because to win large pots you need to have a large stack in front of you.

Well I’ve just discovered the risk of cash games, I’d built up £4.00 from freerolls over the last few days, while I know this isn’t a great amount I was quite proud how I’d ground it out. I’d then gone on to a cash game and got stung having AK and getting A on the flop. My opponent with a larger stack had 3-4 hole cards got 3 on the flop and 4 on the river, I’d by this point thought pair of aces and K kicker was worth shoving all in for in the hope they’d not had anything obviously I thought wrong lol. Live and learn and start again

Hey guys a quick update over the last 3 days I’ve had some great results on the $1 super turbo mtt on william hill poker. I finished 6th and 10th getting me roughly £40 for my bankroll then tonight finished 2nd in the same tournament which got me just under £100, safe to say I think I’m best of playing the Mtt as there as less risk and great reward for my patience and play. Let me know how you guys fair in future and thanks for all your advice

I think what type of poker is most profitable depends on what kind of player you are and what parts of poker you get the most enjoyment out of. I really enjoy playing cash games and think in the long run they will be my go-to game. However right now I have a limited BR and am trying to learn the game again as much has changed since I was last really into it. The way I see it MTTs are great if you're looking for a big score and have the discipline to keep coming back after a bad beat or two. Usually at that point I'll just call it a day for poker but you can't do that if you're stuck in a tournament!!

For me, it's a cash game. You are only dealing with one table of 8 or 9 others. When you win a pot, that is instant cash. When you win a pot in a tournament, it brings you closer to cash. The top prize in a tournament is a lot better usually, but to get there brings a lot of stress. Cash games, you can get up at any time with the profit you made.

Buy-In Tournaments (Re-buy)
The main difference between cash games and standard tournaments - if you lose all your chips, you fly out. Tournaments with additional purchases have different rules: here you can replenish your chips as many times as you like. The only time in which this can be done is limited - an hour or two. In many re-buy tournaments they also offer an "addon" - the ability to buy additional chips until a certain point, for example, before the first break. This format fundamentally changes the strategy of the game: participants are not afraid to stay at zero, because they play more freely. But as soon as the re-purchase period ends, the chips are no longer added to the game and the game becomes tougher.
