Message: [QUOTE="Hambone8705, post: 1561475, member: 43967"] Ring games all the way. Not that I don't like MTT's, I play them quite a bit, but I way prefer cash games. I have many reasons for this and I could probably make an essay out of this answer, but I will just make a few points. [B]Tournaments are a lot harder to consistantly win at over a long period of time.[/B] In a ring game you can choose when and who you play against. I make a good portion of my money off of people who are playing bad or running bad or both. When you reach a final table in a tournament, Everybody else is playing good, running good, or both. This makes it tough. There are a lot of situations that occur in Tournaments that I really don't like. Examples. - If I pick up KK and run into AA and lose 80% of my stack and immediately find myself in the opposite situation on the next hand I can only bet with the 20% I am left with. In a cash game I can reload in between the hands and immediately win [U][B]ALL[/B][/U] of my money back.(not that i ever get that on back to back hands, just making a point.) - I can play beautifully for 2 or 3 hours and make 1 or 2 mistakes and make absolutely no money at all. In a cash games if I make a good play and win a pot I get paid right now, in dollars. If I make a bad play and lose then I pay him right now, in dollars. This makes it easier to evaluate how I am playing, and how they are playing. I feel cash games have more desicion-based results. If that makes sense. If I make the right decision more often than my opponents than I usually win. If I make bad decisions then I usually lose. This applies to all poker but it is just easier to follow in ring games. There is still luck involved yes, bad beats still happen yes. [B][U]But rarely does 1 or 2 hands determine a winning session from a losing session[/U][/B]. LOL I'm starting on an essay. I'll quit. SRY. [/QUOTE]
