There's a reason many professional players prefer cash tables to tournaments. The variance in tournaments is much greater than at cash tables. Of course, we can limit the variation by playing on smaller scale events; but generally, to play MTTs for a living, you have to be prepared to accept some variation.  In extreme cases, a cash game pro who plays considerable volume may not make a profit for more than a month, simply as a result of a bad run, i.e. variation. For an MTT pro, it becomes much more difficult. An MTT pro can literally go more than six months without seeing any return on investment. And we're talking about an online MTT specialist who plays a fair amount of tournaments. When we start looking at the pro players that are on the live circuit, we can see that there are pros who can literally go for years with being unlucky enough not to get that big jackpot.  However, there is undoubtedly more prestige and excitement surrounding tournaments. We could win up to 10 buy-ins at a cash table and probably no one would care. But winning a large-scale MTT is generally considered a much more remarkable achievement. It's also very exciting to make the final table of a large-scale event, much more than just playing a standard cash game all day. If you like excitement and prestige, maybe tournaments are for you. If your main concern is to make a consistent profit with a small variance, then cash tables are the best choice.
