i prefer cash games
lot of players who play cash games like tournaments
very easy to spot these people and take advantage
you can also leave a cash game whenever you want
if you're getting terrible cards in a tournament and don't feel like playing, too bad you can't leave or you can but you get blinded out
but i like tournaments too
if we equate poker to sports betting, then a cash game is like making many single wagers while a tournament is like betting a 25 team parlay if that makes any sense
