Cash is a good way to a newbie player loose everything...

Anyway, if you are a good player... Cash Game have less variance, but I sincerely don't know if in long term "Cash" is better than MTT.

come on guys the real money is in cash games, they have less variance, you can table select and bumhunt these games all day, in tournaments there is big variance and you go for the one big shot but how much buy ins have you spend to hit this big score? and in tournaments you cant table select you have a specific seat with random players. and you may play 8 hours just to get in the money.
cash games are more flexible you know your opponents you can find their weakness and also you can play against the fish all day.

I prefer to play cash, but unfortunately I'm better at tournaments. In cash you will win or lose money on the same day you play. As for tournaments you do not know when you will actually make money. You will have to invest in the dark in a way.

I really think it's different for every player. I make a very little profit with tournaments. and lose at cash games.

All you need to try and choose where the above results. If you simply have time for games then tournaments if time is of the cache of the game well, if at all there is no time spin and go))

I would say it all depends on the type of player, If you play MTT's your prob managing a bankroll very differently, mainly for the long run. We're as cash players may make their deposit to play for the night and cash off what they made leaving a sing buy-in or two left for the next night, I like to play $1/$2 or higher, I make my deposit to sit down at one table and play. they only withdraw what I made above the deposit.
DO NOT DO WHAT I DO! :p

I prefer tournaments because nobody has patients anymore. You can make the first 2 breaks pretty easy.

There is no difference, and here and there to play and think. Succumb to you no one will. The main thing - patience

Bigger variance in Tourneys but I heard some streamers say that there are more fish in there. So Im assuming the potential is in Tourneys. Unless you want less variance, go for Cash.

it really does not matter. The difference is not whether you can make $$$$ or $, it's more about how you want to play.
You will finds strong MTT/cash players at high limits ad fish micros (obvsl.) so if you want to get easy money it will be more about getting better at your game than at finding a variant.
For exmp. micro MTTs are filled with fish !BUT!, MTTs have bigger varience than cash; cash are usually filled with good players !BUT! micros are filled with fish that will pull 2 pair for 3 streets, and even if you get owned by varience you lose a few BI and not your MTT life, that being said at MTTs you can turn 3$ in to 300$... i hope you see my points =)
