I think if you want quick money just take your bankroll and play blackjack and dubble it when you lose a hand ? Till you double your bankroll

Or lose it all 😉.
blackjack is a very dangerous game if you don't know what you're doing.
Its faster pace and quick action make it more fun than poker. But it can break your BR or make it in minutes.
 
In my experience, poker has given me more profit as long as I play with patience and discipline.

so I’m confused a bit after playing for 20 years cash games, and loose that much, what if I played just blackjack with that money ?
Honestly, I think if you played only Blackjack during all that time and with all the money you've used, you would've made some money, even a lot of it considering the experience you could've gained. But you have to know the game and be disciplined.

I don't know if you've seen this course, but here it is just in case:


 
For me it is not a choice - they are so different it is like deciding if should walk or ride a bike. You don't need to choose - you can do both.

Blackjack requires no time investment - sit down when you want to and get up when you want. It is more about a budget - decide how much you are willing to invest and play until you lose it, have a nice profit or don't want to play anymore.

I guess if you play cash games for poker it is similar, but I only play tournaments. The time investment is often too much for me now.
 
I think that in the long run, poker is a better option than blackjack. If you play correctly, improve your skills, play in freerolls, and participate in various promotions, you will have a better chance of achieving good results with less risk of loss. As we know, there are no freerolls in blackjack, and there are no special promotions either, so poker gives us a significant advantage at first glance.
 
It's an easiest choice for me, poker for sure.
Blackjack is about counting cards and very boring, like people already mentioned here.
 
I’ve had the same thought about poker being painfully slow at low stakes, especially after a bunch of losing sessions. But I wouldn’t switch to blackjack for quick money. Doubling after every loss sounds good until a bad streak eats the whole bankroll. I’d rather keep improving at poker, where skill can actually give you an edge over other players.
 
Poker. At least when you lose, you can sleep soundly knowing you were helping the others, not the casino.If you essentially know that you're at a disadvantage in both cases—perhaps even more so in poker—then just play whichever one you prefer.
