Whats ur preference and why? I'd love to read opinions on this.

Tourneys have been getting to me lately. In a cash game i just know what to do, its like hunting. U load and wait. Cuz that big sucker is coming guaranteed.

Tourneys i'm playing my butt off for 4-5 hours, ducking and dodging, bluffin and getting bluffed for a stinking 50,100,150 bucks. Only to be eliminated before the real money starts being dispensed.

Despite ur preference, do u guys feel cash games make more sense profit-wise?

I started playing in 2004 and tournaments ONLY. I had a few year gaps in between that time until now but I must have wasted thousands of dollars on live and online tournaments. The variance is BIG. I'm like you and I don't want to sit online for 5 hours just to see a $100 win when I can sit at a cash game and see a $100 win in a few minutes.

I'll still never understand how successful tourney players do it but I bet you going 50 for 51 is not uncommon.

I used to be a cash player then moved on to SNGs, but MTTs have always been more interesting to me. I've now started playing MTTs exclusively and found that I'm not cashing as often as I'd like to but my game is getting stronger and in the long run it will pay off better for me this way.
