"Why don't I win in cash? If I'm good in tournaments”...
Do you know this phrase? Many players go through this problem. The problem is that playing Cash is different from playing Tournaments, and many people think that they are the same, they are confusing dawn with dusk because they are part of the day.
To start we have to take into account that they are two SPECIALTIES different, that is, they have characteristics that make them unique.
In tournaments the pressure of the "blinds", our "stack" and the "effective stack" forces us to play in one way or another, while in Cash we do not have that "pressure" and the hands are independent the one of the others. In Tournaments if we run out of chips our participation ends, in Cash if you run out of chips, you simply have to reload. The pressure, decisions and calculations in one modality and another are different.
Finally we have to take into account the level of complexity; Cash Games are much more strategically complex than Tournaments. It can happen that you are very good in tournaments and very bad in cash, and vice versa. It is more a matter of each one to find the modality that we like the most.
