I preffer tournaments! Cash games are dangerous to play when u are not 100%, more dificult to return your peace after bad runs.. i play sometimes snap or zoom cash game when i have a low time to grind, its a good option, but is so fast and different to play.. i need to study about these zoom tables! But i like this format..[emoji91][emoji41]
 
Tournaments, but of course you can make money faster in the cash, but you can also lose quickly.
 
I am more into tournaments. I had too many bad hands and did too many bad moves during cash games so I do zoom only when I decide to play them.
 
I prefer cash games, there is more freedom, in the sense that it is not tied to the room for a long period of time
 
if ur patient MTT, but cvashgame u can play just 1 hour and quit whenever u want. U wont be ITM with MTT after 1 hour
 
if i want to give away money, then cash
if i want to win, then tourney....

silly me, sometimes still play cg.....
 
today I have earned more playing cash. playing tournaments is more interesting
 
You need to play cash games when you have a lot of money on your account, and if there is not enough money, then it is not worth it, there is no money left for tournaments, personally I only play in tournaments.
 
Always tourney for me as there is a target to aim for, being top player, number one, and there is an end insight. Cash for me can be a dangerous game for some players, as they can keep re-buying until they are broke, and I have even seen player's borrow money from other's so they can keep playing.
This is when it starts to get to be a serious problem for some, I have never borrowed money to play, and if the buy-in is too big I simply don't play. I have my own personal limit's and do not overstep them at any time.
I once got involved in a game where I spotted cheating going on, and once I saw this I cashed out and walked away, Whenever money is involved there will always be some players who try to take advantage of other players.
Poker is supposed to be fun, and there is nothing funny about getting cheated out of a cash game.

When the fun Stops, STOP! (I did)
 
I really just depends on the type of game you like. For me I play for the thrill of the victory and that why I play tournaments. Playing for cash is just that, playing for cash. There is no thrill in it for me and that's why I will always be a tournament player.
 
I like tournaments more, the game is more relaxed for me, but it takes a lot of time, a lot of time to get more money (I play micro-tournaments).
I am afraid of cash poker, I am afraid even to sit at such a table, I will immediately be eaten, they will immediately attack me, they will not leave a single piece of me, a dangerous game. 🙁
 
I do play cash games sometimes when it's really boring but most of the time I play tournaments
 
I personally prefer the tournaments because it's more fun, but it needs patience. If want to have fun, tournaments will provide you the dream and the process to winning it.
 
i prefer cash games . it is more fun for me . what i hate in a tournament is that the blinds eat you up and because when you make good moves you dont get the INSTANT reward in form of money
 
low limit cash games : lower variance, lots of donkeys = more money guaranteed
low limit MTTs: 2000-15000 players = lots of variance. So its hard to get into an FT, then you need a big bankroll and a great management. Lots of donkeys too
In MTTs you play you have to play some flips = more variance added
But nothing is compared to get into an FT

I like tournies because I'm working towards a goal, which is to build up chips and run deep. Cash gets kind of monotonous. Every hand is the same, stacks are always deep. But I play cash when I want to play for a short while and don't have time for a tourney. Cash tables are tougher to beat for sure.
 
The tournaments on Pokerstars are pretty good, everyone can find the right one for them.
I tend to play in small tournaments. Sometimes I do S&G.
Satellites, although they used to be better here because they were $ 0.11 and $ 0.22 in tournament format, are now only in S&G.
