Message: [QUOTE="This Fish Chums, post: 4957661, member: 359399"] The problem with this line of thinking is the assumption that you will always win regardless of which you play. yes, Cash Games can result in a much higher profit, but it can also result in a much higher loss rate if you are having a bad day or week. Second, this only holds true for min cashes and/or small tournaments. Yeah, going from $5 to $100 after winning a 6 hour tournament isn't a monstrous ROI, but play in a 10,000 player tourney and take home first and your ROI will rival that of a good cash game session. And finally, because tournies have changing strategies based on blind and stack sizes, I would argue that tournaments require more intellect than cash games because there are more strategieis. As you said, Cash Game is like ONLY the first part of a tournament, whereas the tournament has MANY parts. With that said, I do prefer cash games to tournaments, unless the buy-in to 1st place ratio is massive. [/QUOTE]
