My passion is the tournaments that start, many people see how they are eliminated and reach the final table and win it, that feeling is priceless.

I'd never heard of it either, but these are apparently the rules:

Overview​

• The objective of the game is to beat the dealer’s hand by making the best five-card poker hand using your two cards (Hole Card) and up to five Community Cards (or Play the Board). You can also bet on our Progressive Jackpot.
• The Genting Progressive Texas Hold’em Poker system allows multiple credit betting and dealer hand bets. Players can participate in the auxiliary game by placing a side bet on their own hand and/or on the dealer’s hand. If the player’s hand matches one of the winning cards or hands on the side bet payout chart, he wins.
• Place your ante wager. This will determine your minimum and maximum bets throughout the hand.
• Place your bonus or Progressive Jackpot bet. This is an optional bet which gives you a strong starting hand and the chance to win a share of the Progressive Jackpot.
• Two cards will be dealt to the players (Hole Cards). View your Hole Card to choose:
  • to fold: surrender your ante and bonus, or
  • to bet: double the amount of your ante on flop
• The first three Community Cards (Flop Cards) will be dealt face-up. You can either check or pass (stay in the game without betting) or bet (same amount as ante) on the turn.
• A fourth Community Card (Turn Card) will be dealt face-up. Likewise, you can check or bet (same amount as ante) on the river.
• A fifth Community Card (River Card) will be dealt face-up. Two cards are then dealt face-up to the dealer’s hand. If you make a better five-card poker hand than the dealer, you will be paid even money on your Flop, Turn and River wagers. If you win on a straight or better, you will be paid even money on your ante. If not, the ante is a push.
• Bonus bet is paid when the player’s Hole Card matches the posted pay table. The maximum payout is subject to the table limit.
• Progressive Jackpot is won on a combination of the player’s/dealer’s first or second Hole Cards with any Community Cards, or using only Community Cards, and is paid on the four of a kind or better.
• Payment of the Progressive Jackpot will start from player position 1 – 8 (left to right) with the dealer’s position counted as number 8 and paid last. Jackpots will be processed by position regardless of the type of jackpot struck.

Cool. Looks like I wouldn't like it at all.

Hello, Everyone! At the present time I play in the different kinds of Poker... This means: I try to be an universal player,
because I don't know exactly, where lady Luck is waiting Me?! That's it!

I like to play both, what I play can depend on how much time I can set aside. Cash games are great because you can play anytime and can leave easily if need be. Tournaments are great when you know you have a at least a few hours to spare in case you go deep.

Excellent reason, but you should always think positive. "When you go deep."

At least I try to specialize in zoom tables.
I also play tournaments from time to time, especially on weekends, where there are tournaments with good promotions.
It happens that for me at least, and listening to advice from great players, they say that to make an economic base it is better to play cash.
The day-to-day variance is much less than in tournaments.
For example, you may have a bad streak in cash microlimits but when the variance comes in your favor your bankroll will probably increase.
On the other hand, in tournaments you must have almost yes or yes, that by playing 100% of tournaments you must have the minimum 15% of cashes and especially of main positions, which is not easy either because many times it happens that you don't even enter an ITM.
For me, if you want to make a good bankroll you must study and play cash, and playing deep stack is very important, also advice from a great professional player today in tournaments but who got to play cash NL 2000 with continuity.
Greetings

I prefer tournaments since they are more exciting for me

I prefer more tournaments

Me neither if that's it!

I answered on the assumption that OP just meant a regular cash game and that's what I prefer. Was thinking the progressive part might be that as your bankroll grows you can play at higher limits with bigger blinds and bankrolls.

The difference between playing $0.01/$0.02 blinds at the very bottom with a $2 buy in, hopefully moving through the ranks until you're playing something like $5/$10 with a $1000 buy in and a $100k roll.

Never play cash normally, just tournaments.
