Cash players are generally good at tournaments?

_xgeb_ · Mar 28, 2020

I have this doubt. I would like to know what you think about it.
Players who play cash have more resources when it comes to playing tournaments than regular tournament players?
It's just something that occurred to me thinking. I don't know what they think.
Regards!

If they are good cash games player i think that they can easely performs on tournament.
Even it's not the same strategy, i think most of them can adapt they experience to be good tournament players.

I believe it varies a lot. A regular money player, he has a firmer and more linear game. As a regular mtt player, you must have a more sophisticated game. This is delayed, as tournaments must play in different ways throughout the game. I think it is possible to regularly play for money, also tournament winners. However, it requires changes in thinking to change the style of play.

Cash game players play more regularly and have an opportunity to recognize the regular tournament players and talk strategy with them. So in that aspect that could talk more with tournament regs. They also would be more versed at playing deep stacked poker. Outside of that they would be at a disadvantage. They should be basing there coaching and research on cash games not tournaments if that’s where they’re profitable. If you take a game and make it your specialty then you should be picking cash or tournament, stakes, heads up, full ring, 6 max, location of events or games. That’s the advantage someone could have

They are much better overall at poker than tournament players, on average, because of much experience playing 100+bb deep, and therefore can adapt quite well because they already know how the game works.

I would hate to say that one is any more difficult than the other, they are just different.

Tournament players have to play a broader range of situations than a cash game player:

constantly playing different players as table merge
short table AND full table - especially those that play satellites, SNG's and shootouts
short stack AND deep stack poker - with increasing blinds, tournament players do not always have the luxury of full chip utility all the time.
EV decisions are a little different - in a cash game, any slight edge is good. In a tournament, slight edges can be disastrous.

This isn't to say that cash game players would not play in these situations, nor it doesn't say that they couldn't do well in these situations, but tournament players have to adjust to these things ALL THE TIME.

Good luck!

Case closed!

I think you get some really good cash players who play well in tournaments but I would say the majority tend to rush their hands and get found out easy enough.

Some cash players are brilliant but majority tend to get found out easy enough in tournament poker

tw082 · Mar 29, 2020

That doesn't make since to me how would cash players in general be better tournament players than tournament players. You could say some are or even make the argument cash players are better overall. Not saying I would agree but couldn't argue really.

No doubt many cash players can play tournaments well.

However, cash games and tournaments have different parameters and therefore different skill sets. Cash players will discuss the difficulty of adapting to a multi-day tournament for example (multi-day tournaments generally providing the higher rewards). It takes a certain kind of patience regarding hand selection and playing through tables which are going to reseat as the field diminishes etc. a constant readjustment to various playing styles.

However I am sure its a two way street with a player who is used to MTTs needing to take time to adapt to the immediacy of cash games.

That said, I do think it requires a particular skill set to regular place, let alone final table an MTT- battling through a few hundred players is both a challenge and a reward in and of itself.

are very different styles the cash player has things in favor that the tournament player does not for example the blinds remain, the game time is decided by him, it is easier to read the opponents since there are no table changes, but this does not indicates that they are not good at playing MTT, the only thing this tells us is that the strategy and the game mode change but they are poker players if they handle the concepts of cash and mtt they should not have problems

LukasynoACAB · Mar 29, 2020

Idk its a two different games but rules are almost same

Ozzi8888 · Mar 29, 2020

No.

Most of them

MikeDTT · Mar 31, 2020

No cause bluff doesnt work there some players put in all-in alll fkn time

rdwr33 · Mar 31, 2020

Hi guys. I think that when you are a good poker player and even professional, you will be in any type of tournament.

dcproster · Mar 31, 2020

They are on early stages, when stack is 50-100bb. On middle and late stages they play not too good.

marcelo benavidez · Mar 31, 2020

when you play cash, you play seriusly, maybe in some tournements people go all in all the time to test luck.

jsk963 · Mar 31, 2020

It doesn't make sense it's different type of game, tournaments are longer.

m0t22 · Mar 31, 2020

I believe it has its pros and cons.

Pros, deep stack gameplay and positioning of ranges more often on turns and river.

Cons would be less knowledge in the shoort stack game.

but we cannot generalize this type of information, since the game depends on countless variables.

Cash players are generally good at tournaments?
