Tournaments or Cash Games?

[Mmurilove]

I prefer tournaments because I prefer to pay only a buy-in once than to risk losing part of my bankroll in one hand. I'm not psychological enough to play with that pressure. hahaha

Cash is a skill game while MTTs are skilled gambling...cash the established rocks,sharks, and super skilled LAGs already have taken all the value out of cash games and you need to wait for fish or donks. Cash game is good for grinding besides that you need to be super skilled to play or else you will lose money very quickly.

It´s depends the time i have.... If a have much time to play i prefer Tournaments...

 

[MarloRae]

I beg to differ. There is a huge difference between cash games and tournaments. Especially in terms of gameplay. You will often find yourself sitting at a cash table, with players who have a very big bankroll and can afford their losses, or with very new ones who simply got $ signs in their eyes. .

This, a thousand times this.

Earlier, I played mostly tournaments. However, recently began to play more in cash. Very often, you can quickly win cash

I love to play freeroll tournaments because I still do not play very well in cash games, I often lose than win, so for now I prefer freeroll tournaments.

depends...many factors; but I think it's most relevant to personality I prefer tournaments and its work for me; better than cash game I mean; one of the reason
can be about the strategy of playing; I don't change my strategy during the game and I'm comfortable in the online tournament; If thät tournaments be a zoom mode ....much better

Personally i like to switch it up to keep it new yah know. My fav is definitely tournaments because it is so exciting and you can win big for very little! But i enjoy them all

 

[AlexBlefer]

[passmg2]

I like to play both. I need to learn how not to give my entire bankroll away...lol.

it seems to me that it is equally difficult to play cash games and tournaments.If you want to win.In cash games sometimes wait two hours until your card comes.You end up getting back what you lost.Sometimes your card comes with the beginning of the game and you win and carry to the end.We just need to take this chance.In poker you need incredible patience.And the victory will be yours..

There are two main game formats in the poker world – poker tournaments and cash games. And each player has to make this difficult choice and decide what format they will devote time. Much has already been said that one discipline should be chosen and not spread to all formats at the same time. But how to choose if you like and cash, and tournaments?

These two game formats are very different from each other. The cash game can be quite predictable – here each chip is the equivalent of real money. But in tournaments the variance is much higher, but there is a chance for a large drift.

As with any choice, you should consider in detail the advantages and disadvantages (that is, the pros and cons) of each format. Choosing the right game can be crucial to success at the poker tables. So take your time and analyze the pros and cons of each format.

For me tournaments have not only money, but also sports interest, to take the first place from 5000-10000 brings great pleasure.

I originally learned to play cash, but tournament poker captures more. this is a prize pool and more action.
if it turns out to win big fields of players, it becomes even more exciting for you and someday you will get your big first prize and compensate your time with patience
I sometimes go to the cash game when I need to replenish my bankroll a little. and it turns out. although you need to know that the cash and tournament are different in strategy games

 

[martina pinto]

I always prefer the tournaments although in cash I am just giving myself

 

[angelamsmith05]

I prefer tournaments. Much more satisfying when you place bc there are far more people in a tournament than a cash game. You also can control your losses better.

 

[RutgersOneTime]

I love! The grind of the super long tournaments, but as you said, you can't always spend that much time and cash games can be on your schedule.

 

[COMIRRR]

I prefer the tournament but I do not understand those who do all in on everything

 

[Daymo90]

I much prefer playing in the tournaments, but to build up a bank roll then I’ll always start off in the micro games, gain a few extra quid and use my profit to pay for tournament entries.

Online I do well in tournaments, and I enjoy them a thousand times better. Cash, not so much. However, in casinos, it's the exact opposite. I clearly am much better at the 1/2 no limit table vs. the tournaments.

 

[kucu2014]

I'm just playing tournaments. I play very rarely in cash.I think there's more variance

 

[Dimanis]

Cash is good that at any time you can change the table or even to leave the game. The large variance tournaments, but if reached the finals of the return a decent amount of Buy-in. Play what the soul is.

Making money in cash is more convenient than in tournaments, because you do not depend on the start time and duration of the tournament. You can choose any time of the day or night, there are a lot of rooms now. Strategy tournaments more difficult. Constantly changing the optimal strategy depending on the stacks and players at the table. Concentration is needed for 5-10 hours, the maximum level of concentration should ideally fall on the final table. And this is oh, how not simple and not everyone can.
