You Prefer Playing Tournaments or Cash?

[HenriqueMed1]

I prefer tournaments. Because in it you have the opportunity to meet his opponent, have a read on his playing style.

I like more tournaments , it's really a question of control and I think they are different ways to play ,

It's not a question of control when strategy and skill level is the real deal.

I preffer tournaments

 

[demibar]

tournaments ,i think if you play on tournaments you can win more than cash games ...

 

[ShoTyme]

I used to be strictly a cash game player. Now I'm strictly a tournament player. Now I'd only play cash live.

 

[neno_sk]

definitely tournaments but my opinion is that cash games is most profitable but requiring more skills..

 

[MrBadAss]

much more tournaments, its the moments of the bubble, ICM that in my opinion make it better than cash

 

[SerbiaGrinding]

Tourneys are better i believe. Cash games are a tough grind for the most part, more stressful.

 

[lois505]

I like tournaments more little, because i always easy on tilt, so play tournament better, if lost just lost tournament money, that no so much money ,but if play cash game , if i lost i can lost all my poker bankrol
so tournament better for me

For me, cash games provide a more steady profit. I will play the occasional tournament to take a shot at a big score but cash games are my bread and butter.

I've been a tournament player my entire life. Live growing up a couple blocks from the strip in Vegas, and since the internet poker craze kicked off.
Always moderately successful at tournaments, and crap at cash games.

But!!!
I've been playing cash games at the encouragement of somebody telling me "Download Polished Poker Vol I"

I figured I've read most poker books. Still great tourney play, crap ring games. No E-Book is going to help me.

This guy actually opened my eyes to most if not all of my weaknesses and I'm only half done with his e-book.

I've had very few negative sessions without knowing when to get out and my profit is up like crazy.

So in summary I'm actually starting to enjoy cash games as much ( almost ) as tournament play....

Tournaments, i have probleblems bankrollmanaging if i play cashgames and such, so i rather get more quality time wiht dividing my bankroll into torneys and sitngos

 

[rubenz]

I like both but I play more tourneys.

 

[luiaguila]

two game modes in cash but I do well and suddenly fall precipitously instead tournaments I love especially slow since most of the players while they fall into despair

 

[WaxDabMan]

I would say it depends on both bankroll and mental state. If my roll is low I avoid cash games. I base the focus of my initial bankroll on tournaments simply to minimize risk, as it is hard to find cash games below 1/2 live most times. If my mental state isn't there, I simply won't play, as I have found that it is mildly therapeutic to play small tournies and continually punt , that isn't fair to those players... so yea

20 dollar sit and go.

 

[Biznardian]

Sometimes cash games and sometimes tourneys. If I do not want to play for hours or do not have the time I play cash games. When I really have time I like a good tournament.

 

[TimovieMan]

Back in my fixed limit days, it was cash only.

Now that I'm trying my hand at NL, I think I like tourneys better. And they're definitely cheaper for my non-existant bankroll. MTTs take a long while, though...

 

[MrPink514]

I actually like SNGs the most. I love tournaments and cash games as well, but I'd say probably 70% of my online play is in SNGs.

 

[sergey ptz]

Only tournament poker there is an element of competition

 

[Mr Alvim]

I prefer playing in online tournament , the live I prefer playing cash .

 

[Jalapano]

I definitely mix it up. Cash games have a steadier profit but grinding can get old after a while. That's why I will branch out and play as many different games as I can find.

 

[seghill]

tournaments - but you need patience, and no interruptions

 

[NicoSalazar7]

Really even I donot which is what I like , because in the two even I do not have my forte, I played at tables and lots adjustment of the players, the closed most although there are times you encounter people who relagan their tabs, change in tournaments can win a large sum if you're good , to be seen with the experience which I feel more jjaja

Excuse my translation , I do not understand the English

 

[kidpokerkids]

Only tournaments, because you quickly learn to play poker more professionally
