just so you know, this is true for cash games as well as tournaments

tournaments make the edge between a good player and a bad player smaller than cash, but the edge is still there. luck plays a much greater role over the short-term (and fairly long-term) of MTTs. still, over an adequate sample of each, a player with a winning game will be a winning player

i much prefer cash, but i play tournaments sometimes because they're fun and i know how to play them. the thrill of going deep can be very worthwhile

I'm still delving into cash a bit but a huuge % of my bankroll has been built with tournaments, starting with $0 and ending up around $450. Tournament poker is a much different game and to me is much more exciting to play more often.
