Cash Games vs Tournaments

[IllaWill]

Yes cash games are similiar strategy to tourneys only thing is in cash games people are not as quick to call with mediocre hands

I really like the $10 OD tourneys on bcp. The first day i got 8th place. The second day i got 4th. I did have to try a few times a day. It really sucks when you get knocked out after 2nd break but thats how it goes sometimes

I think it depends on the bankroll at the time what makes me play what I do. I love the turbo sit and go's because it fits my style better, of gambling and making people make a decision. I am not a fan of the 1 dollar rebuys because that is just an invitation to donk it off. I love playing .10/.25 omaha that is the game where if you pick your spots can build a huge bankroll..

you play a lot more hands in cash games, so you encounter a lot more situations. what makes it tougher is that if you make one small mistake or miscalculate a range, you stand to lose 1-2 buyins in one hand.

tourneys are fun, but they are high variance. some of the tourney pros can play like 1000s of games without making a good spot in the money. same thing happens in cash games, but with tourneys of 1000+ players it can get real sick.

Well from what I noticed if you just want to have fun for a long time, play a tournament. Yeah you could win big, but hey if you lose you might have only payed a $20 buy in for 4 or 5 hours of fun. Cash games obviously make you more money faster, but on the same note you could lose all your money faster too. It really depends if you're trying to play for a long time or want that money fast.

I do best when I focus... doesn't matter if it's a tourney or cash game.... patience and paying attention are the keys to both
