Are you a Tournament player or cash game player?

[David macdonald]

I'm a tournament player, I consider myself skilled at the game through years of practice. In my opinion tournament play is completely different and has to be played differently. What's ur thoughts?

 

[AgentXtreme]

Yes I agree with you , I do better in tournaments than cash game , I'm so bad in cash

 

[alienat3d]

LOL. How about to rename this thread to "Tournament players complains about their bad luck in cash games"? :biggrin:
Well i am a tournament player too. (Better said SNG-player tho.) And i am suck at cash games as well, so i try to keeping myself from playing it. :rofl:
But it's alright, you know. You just can't play everything good. (Except if your name is Phil Ivey.. ) So just leave it and get even better at what you are already not bad! That's my IMHO.

 

[David macdonald]

Yeah all comments are interesting for me thanks

I'm a tournament player,
I can play cash, but I really do not like it.

 

[David macdonald]

It's not for everyone

 

[Aparajit]

Tournament player only as they are more safer. Cash games usually many people play same tables every day. And know each others style.

 

[lajeandom]

I play both, I make more money in cash games these days tho

Are you a Tournament player or cash game player?

To be a successful online cash player you need a very strong understanding of fundamentally sound poker. Online is a very tough cash environment.

I am saying all of this to say that I am an online tourney player and a "live" cash game player. I respect all types of poker players. I know "cash" players like to put down tourney players but I feel it takes work to be profitable at your favorite type of game.

i prefer cash game, cause to win at playing tournaments needs more skills, patients and times.

 

[andyt5303]

I enjoy and play both cash games and tournaments. However I much prefer the structure and variety of tournaments so I like to sit down and play several tournaments throughout a day when I can over playing cash.

 

[shinjibe]

Depends on if I have time, SNG's are what I'm alright at. The 1 thing with MTT's is that I've finished in the top 100 hundreds of times. I very rarely Make a final table, compared to the amount of times I've ran deep. And 50 of those times are top 30 finishes.

 

[BoaSafra]

MTTs and SNG!

 

[maikl2602KML]

I like to play more in tournaments. N also play a zoom

 

[fernandoprrt]

MTT or SNG, because they have stages that you need to keep passing, early stage, the mid game/bubble and the final table.

 

[Rodrigonog]

I usually play both types, but I identify with tournaments. I only usually venture into cash.

 

[David macdonald]

Jsnake716 that's a good comment, never underestimate your opponents even if they are not as experienced as you are

 

[abramow93]

In the cash game, you just need to be more disciplined, and in tournaments there is still a greater percentage of luck

 

[David macdonald]

Completely different styles of play

 

[Rollex]

I play poker for more then 10 years and I'm 90% cash-game player. I like to learn my opponents, so I rarely change tables. I can sit from 1 hour and up to 2 days.
About tournaments, I played a lot, but I don't know why I.m as good at cash and same time bad at tourneys

 

[John4_19]

I've always preferred cash games, but these days I'm almost strictly playing MTTs. If I could easily quit playing cash games during a session (especially if I was winning), I'd be strictly cash. I feel like I've never had a profitable session though because I can play as long as the game's running. So my sessions will always start good, and slowly I play bad and start giving it all back and some.

I focused on tournament play for years but it's been mostly cash tables for the past 3yrs. (or more?) mostly live but also some online micro/low stakes stuff. I tell myself I will play tournaments again at some point but it hasn't happened yet, lol.
I believe you will find more poorly playing players (a.k.a. donks, fish, etc.) playing in tournaments,... especially micro stakes online.

Yes I agree

 

[mhsmeet]

I consider myself a micro cash game player, of course tournaments are great but cash games have been more profitable for me than tournaments so I consider myself more of a cash game player...

 

[vov4ik]

I play a lot of tournaments, knock-out and MTT -------- SNG - spin and go - freerolls I like tournament games, but sometimes I go play for an hour in the cash game to distract and relax from the tournament game, because which is very exhausting in the tournament to play for 3 -4 hours or more and takes a lot of time!
