How many of you have trouble adjusting to cash game play after fighting free rolls ? Or how do you adjust your game play ? Is there even an adjustment in the way you play ? Just wondering .... may sound like a stupid question but i'm just curious. I'm newer to the poker world. Thanks
cash games, mtts, and sngs are all very different games with different strategies.
I know alot of players who are good at mtts suck at the cash tables, and vice versa.
i havent figured out cash games yet nor do i care too ill stick mtt and freerolls
Frequency of bluffing is one area that you need to adjust. It's nearly pointless in freerolls and cheap cash games.
its simple in cash games a pair is worthless a lot of times no matter the kicker.

tight aggressive wins the race.
I say that when it comes to playing online poker I owuld much rather play cash games as oppose to mtt but with live play I would rather play in tournaments
Play free roll like a free roll and cash game like a cash game
I don't see much difference in play between a FR and a low-buy-in tourney ($5 or less). When you get into $10-$50 buy-in tourneys, you will face tougher opponents, and will have to make difficult decisions due to higher frequency of bluffing (as a previous poster stated). Pay very close attention to the board and the play as it develops to try to get a sense of whether or not you are ahead. I can multitask during a FR or low-cost tourney, but if I invest more than $10, I focus on the game almost exclusively.
The longer you play, the easier it is to find your style. Normal mtts that have 15 min levels are played way differently than turbo ones. If it's a turbo, be prepared to see lots of all ins.
I'm trying different ways of playing but lately It seems i can be 90% until the river . and when I do raise pre flop with a premium hand I get called by someone with 2 4 off and get owned lol ....
i find it harder to adjust when you play a tournament then play cash. i you crush sng your going to crush cash games. either way, any way of playing helps you in your game.
its a completely different approach, with actually money vs possible free money. you gotta control yourself and dont push it as much
a big diff i've noticed is when i started playing $5+ tournies less ppl get into the pot preflop and u can min raise pre a ton w/o the fear of everyone calling u each time
what would we do with out such sound advice LMFAO, good luck on the felt!!Quote:

You dont recive the cash for carbon it just turns to points
I've adjusted a little bit on my play, it seems to be working out a little better, placed in a PO trny yesterday.
Now my new question is for advise for MICRO tables. Tight didn't seem to work nor did aggressive or tight aggressive lmao any advice
You have to learn to pick you spots and learn to read your opponent. If you can get a good read on your opponent, you will most likely win in both cash games and tournaments. Micro tables are tough because it is already hard to make people lay down their hand if they are drawing.
Playing your game no matter what.
Though free roll play cannot be compared to actual cash game. That simple
I have noticed sometimes I let myself slip into bad habits by playing so many free rolls
I'm just starting to play some cash, and I find it to be a much easier game. Throughout a tournament you have to constantly be making adjustments due to the structure of a tournament, but you don't have to worry about those factors in a cash game. I still haven't played much live NL yet, so I'm not sure how that will go, but I'm happy with my online cash game play.
I have actually thinking about playing live at the casino this weekend. Trny or Cash table so many decisions lol
cash games is the best. if you lose, all you have to do is reach for your wallet. in a tournament, once you are out, ur done. i hate that.
i think u must have some kind of "special talent" when it goes to cash tables, i mean, u better be a lucky azz ......... ;)
I have to disagree with this one, because usually I get more play time for my money when I'm in a tourney. Plus almost every casino has cash games going, so when you get knocked out of a tourney you can still go join a cash game. That's what I usually do.Quote:

im staying away from cash tables for a while for sure dont like them
If you're only used to freerolls, I would suggest playing some real money MTTs first. But in general, cash game play is more like the early parts of a real money tournament. Stacks are big in relation to blinds and you need a big hand to get all-in with another stack. All-in preflop is usually not ideal in cash.
freeroll payouts suck. i fought through 600 people just to get 55 cents. not worth it. a smaller tourney with a bigger payout would be the way to go. the only upside to freerolls is no risk. they just take way to much time
