I play only in tournaments and they bring me the main profit. I don't play cash games because they are too complicated for me.
There is nothing complicated, almost the same. Learning how to play cash games well will help you in the tournament

i would lean towards online, just for the fact that pros go to the live events more often than not.

Indeed, cash games are often more complicated, especially after the flop, which is why I think it's better to register later for higher stakes tournaments. However, if you are experienced, you can build this knowledge.

You can make a profit with both if you do it right.

Tournaments are better, because if you reach a final table you will win more money than in cash.

Cash games are less variance in my opinion, but u can´t earn as much money as mtts.
Mtts if u bink a big one u can earn a lot money quicker, but more variance is the long run in my humble opinion.

It depends on how much time you can devote to online gaming. Remember that tournaments last a few hours and the other tables are sit and go. If you only have an hour, it's good to sit down for a while and try your luck, but if you have few hours, do a tournament:D

Most profitable is where you play the best and beat the field

It depends on everyone's skills and at what game he had an edge . Some eib more on cash games , when do e win more on tourneys or sngs. But on tourneys , if you are lucky , winnings can be very big , even x100 or more of the initial Investment .

I think cash is more profitable than tournaments, let's say you need to sit for 4.5 hours to get into money in mmt during this time, you can double the cash 4 times

It s not the same game... It also depends on how much time you have... For exemple, If you play an mtt, you can t leave the game when you want.

I prefer to play tourneys but like to play the odd cash game now and then.

Although the swings can be brutal in a cash game, last one I played I had KK and went all in, other player called and he had AA.... I caught a K on the flop but then got cleaned out after he caught his A on the river

That's the danger of cash games
😕

tournaments are more profitable, however, after the tenth run, you want to win something, so in this case it's better to play a cash game

cash games are more convenient because you can leave the game at any time, but tournaments are more valuable because you can get more profit

there is a very notable difference between cash and mtt and it is that if you don't know how to play in cash you end up losing everything while in tournaments even playing poorly you could win a prize if the variance is on your side, in my opinion more profitable but only when you learn to play
I agree with the author. Another plus of MTT is that you can play more hands than in cash with less risk. And the competitive spirit of the tournament is absent in the cashes. I would advise to play MTT, the more so in not 1 cashe game there is no freeroll to try your forces.:cool:

In online games, the most famous are cash games and tournaments, which one does the community recommend that they are the most profitable or in other words which one do we get the most money from?
As for whom. Cash games are too difficult for me, so I mostly prefer tournaments. And it is the tournaments that bring me the main profit. More precisely, our freerolls bring me the main profit :)
