Message: [QUOTE="Jblocher1, post: 3764241, member: 92474"] Hey there! Tournament reg here. I agree with you that cash games are better if you are looking to earn a steady wage in poker as it's not hard to not cash in 30-40 or even 50 online tournaments in a row when u are playing with decent competition. With that being said I think ur post displays ur naivety about tournament play as I reckon you have never been exclusively an MTT player and I'm guessing you have never actually studied the theory. 1. If your reasoning for jamming all in is as you described "I only have x amount of chips, might as well all in" then you shouldn't be playing poker at all. Just like in cash games, everything we do has reasoning and logic behind it. In fact, if you are in a push fold state you should just be jamming nash ranges because you cannot be exploited shoving Nash. 2. Also, if you play nine max ring games I'm surprised u haven't died of boredom yet. 3. So if you have a 3k roll, you can either play a 30 dollar ABI for MTT's, or you can play 100NL. perhaps cash tables are a better choice for you because of your particular skill set. But I want to make one thing very clear, you cannot be a good long term 100NL winner online by just waiting for good cards. ABC poker is great for 4/10NL and maybe even 25NL but your foolproof strategy of just waiting for cards completely falls apart at the cash game equivalent roll wise to a 30 dollar buy in tournament. 4. Tournament tilt shouldn't be a problem if you are fully in control of yourself 5. You display your naivety on the subject most when you suggested that you "make it further when you play like an idiot towards the end of tournaments as opposed to a sane human being". My guess would be that this experience has happened over a very small sample of games, and objectively bad play takes away any edge u would have had against these so called donk infested final 5. I also notice that there's no consideration paid to ICM which becomes super critical at final tables with huge pay bumps. If you aren't considering ICM you are not maximizing ur real money equity In some regards you are right, but I mostly think ur being unfair to tournament players [/QUOTE]
