I only played cash games heads up for a while, or when I had to pay a lot of rake in a room.
I prefer to play tournaments and Hyperhu SNGs.

I choose tournaments for me to play comfortably and most importantly, I for one hand will not lose a lot of money in cash games.
I chose tournaments for myself. I don't play cash games. I focused only on tournaments, and the dynamics of my bankroll growth shows that I made the right choice.

I think it's emotionally more difficult to cache.

I play tournaments, mostly freerolls, so my bankroll doesn't suffer and is always in the black.

Of course, I always choose poker tournaments, primarily because I lose less money in them.

The first and most important advantage of cash games over tournaments is freedom of action. Tournament players do not have the luxury of leaving the game whenever they want.The variance in tournament poker is devastating. You have to be very lucky with a huge bankroll to successfully start a tournament career. If that's not you, then play cash games.There are regulars in any discipline. But there are the most of them in cache. This is because cache provides an ideal working place.

Of course, tournaments. Why?
Because they bring me profit :)

I prefer to play tournaments, but if I play live with friends I like to play cash more.

In my case, these are tournaments and freerolls, cash is very rare, but you can enter.

Both are great, I often play tournaments during the day and at the end of the session I play cash to recover the day's iron and many times I save myself!

I prefer to play tournaments; I'm a terrible cash game player. I've had good days in tournaments, but not so good in cash games.

I choose tournaments because it is less stressful. Cash games are quick to win, but also quick to lose. This makes me nervous. In tournaments, the definition of winnings or losses happens gradually.

Definitely prefer a tournament. I enjoy the long game. Or rather I just have more time to waste than money.

I prefer cash games for the steady structure and ability to leave anytime. Tournaments are exciting but more variance-heavy and less predictable.
