on the weekend I played cash on 888 and they are now returning 20% of the rake until December 31, I do not know every day the money comes to the account or not, but I earned a little more than $ 4

No, I don't make that much profit.

I learned with the recent BOL promotion how much I hate those cash games. 😅

So for me the answer to the question is definitely MTT.

I think cash games are worth playing when you either have little free time or a big bankroll. For me personally, MTT has always been more interesting and profitable.

Cash games or MTT's ?.. For Me on the present time these are MTT's, of course! By one simple cause: lose may only one buy-in,
but win possibly very many buy-ins!.. Ha-ha, joke! In the same time this is real truth! That's all!

I also only play freerolls until I reach 1000€. At the moment my total winnings are around 460€ (GG and Pokerstars) and until I reach my goal I rarely play bigger tournaments. But I have learned something important from it, if I would play much more on the day and would bet even more money, I would also come to even greater profit.

Of course, cash poker. If you want to play - play. You can stop playing at any time.....

Nowadays I usually MTTs and mostly the CC tournaments apart from some special ones. I used to play more cash and I would like to do this again.

I love to play Live cash games.
Not that I dislike Live MTT.

Online also if the MTT is a free roll or bounty/progressive is my favorites.

I don't make anything even close to that. I am one of those who mostly play freerolls, plus some low stakes cash games.

I play mostly tournaments and I play sit & go's with 6 or 9 players. If I play cash games than with very small BB.

I only play tournaments, I think that most random caches are especially played where they don't borrow much or I think

Tournaments are my first choice too. No better feeling when you know youve made the money

If I play cash and entry tournaments up to 5 dollars. Very rarely games of 11 and 16 dollars. It's very difficult to keep playing those levels.

I play mtts around 80% of the time and 20% cash games. You know in cash games the blind are static, there isn't a lot of action, however mtts have a special dynamic where the blinds goes up, the push/fold, the bubble, ICM, bounties, final table, a lot of factors to consider and a different approach to the game, it's more challenging than cash games.

Very well said. I prefer mtts for the same reason.

MTTs for me, because the mistakes the average player makes in them is enough to provide me with an opportunity to consistently bank profits with very little risk/time investment (I last minute late register every MTT).

Currently I am playing in the $5.50 - $22 MTT range and am making around $1K/month on average (maybe a little less).

Once I have a little more of a financial cushion, I'm looking to up my buyins and try to get to the $2K-$3K/month level. :)

This!

I love when I am ITM and can simply play longer and see what I make.

MTTs are great because the longer you play, the more money you will make.

This is NOT true for cash game. ;)

I like it when your in the money and have a decent stack so it feels like your on cruise control at that stage waiting for a decent pair. All the hard work of building your stack has been done

I play about 50/50. Every discipline has its pros and cons.

I play in person, only tournaments. It's much easier for me to master the tilt, and that's not even the point. I mainly play for 10 years mtt tournaments in cash games I have no experience.
