Message: [QUOTE="Grinderella, post: 3790737, member: 240721"] Interesting post. Really, asking if people prefer Cash or Tournament is like asking if they prefer tea or coffee. They're both hot drinks but each very different. Cash and SNG are both Poker and follow the same rules but very different fundamentally. Most people try each kind of Poker, spend a bit of time on them and then sort of make a decision about which one they're going to specialise in. I agree with the previous comments about donks being able to win more, and that's why bad players prefer SNGs and MTTs to cash. They can sense that the variance is higher and therefore they can use short term luck to erode the edge of good regs and nits who would flatten them in a ring game. Essentially, the added pressure of ever increasing blinds forces regs and otherwise solid cash players to gamble more and effectively levels the playing field. My OWN personal reasons for moving from SNG/MTT over to cash were: Not wanting to pee in a a bottle Being able to "Sit out" whenever friends or family need me Being able to go make a coffee or go to the shop whenever Taking proper breaks for as long as I want instead of 5 minutes to prepare my Pot Noodle Not having to worry about internet failures (Players have lost millions in potential earnings this way) Being able to go to bed straight away when I'm tired or sick Playing against tougher opponents that will improve my game Being able to decide not to continue the game (for whatever reason) even though I've paid in Tournament Poker is far more antisocial to the other people around you in your life (Because you can't press pause) You here a lot of nasty stories about how miserable Cash is. Most of these whinings come from players who bought into games that they were not bankrolled for. You'll find these guys posting on forums afterwards sobbing about how rigged Poker is. Cash rocks! Deal with it :) [/QUOTE]
