I play both profitably....and can show graphs.

Look, here is the crux of the difference...

In donkament play you WILL USUALLY be fairly shortstacked for most of the tournament which simplifies the game immensely.

Playing with 20BB is just pretty formulaic. You look for really good spots to take down blinds, you look for really good reshove spots to take advantage of overly aggy people trying to do that, and you conserve your stack in marginal spots like flatting a lot oop.

THE POKER IS PRETTY SIMPLE at low and medium stakes.

The PSYCHOLOGY is a lot harder for people to take; especially beginners.

YOU WILL LOSE ~85% OF TH TIME IN TOURNAMENTS IF YOU ARE PLAYING WELL.

YOu need to be able to be at peace with the fact that you will play well and lose....and lose....and lose again. You will get bad beated....you will get coolered....you will lose flips....you will go card dead and then run 10hi into KK in a good spot where you played perfectly shoving on the button.

That is donkament poker.

Cash game poker is much MUCH more complex.....and played with a much deeper stack usually. You don't need to be stealing blinds as much....or feeling like you need to consistently building your stack/taking risks. You can sit back and survey your opponents and what they think of you, and just play/develop your optimal game.

You can win more consistently....

You can play enough volume to know your win rate in a few months....

Its just different.
