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?
Obviously the Tournaments pay out is bigger as there are more players involved, if you stuck with cash games the only money you can win is there on the table, but with some Tournaments having thousands of players, the prize money could be huge, that is why Tournaments are so popular.
They are also a lot easier on your
bankroll because you can play your way through to the main game by qualifying in satellite games, some might even be
freerolls.
I remember one PSCA Event where a player won a package to the final tournament played in the Caribbean and when he got his package which included Flights and Hotel bills he sold the Flight to pay off some bills, then as the Tournament got closer decided he wanted to give it a shot and borrowed the money to fly out there and cashed in the Tournament, all from a freeroll satellite.
pokerstars often feature freeroll satellite games, I played one where the top 50 received an $11,00 Ticket and 100 runners up got an $1.10 ticket to the next stage, there were over 8,000 players in it and I managed to get in the last 50 winning that $11.00 ticket, did me no good though as I was busted out when my 3 Aces on the flop was beaten by a player making a straight.
That's Life! That's Poker!.
