i am the same way, i think most of the reason has to do with that you are prepared to lose whatever money you bought in for in the tournament, but in a cash game whatever is sitting in front of you is at risk, and its usually a lot more than a 30+ dollar buy in.

plus i think it's the fact that a tournament ends, whereas cash games dont, you are working towards something by folding consistantly, and playing right. even though you are working towards making more money in cash games by doing this, there is no real means to an end, so i think it lies somewhere in there. because i'm the same way but this is the best i can do to try to figure out why. i stick with tourney's as well, i'm sick of cash games, not only can my bankroll not take it but i get really sad when i lose a lot of money in cash games.

Good point froghump...buy in = sunk cost.

For anyone not practicing BRM, Cash Games ceiling = balance in cashier :eek: .
