This post is Beyond LOL.

I'm probably biased here as I've played a greater number of MTTs as cash game hands in the past few years and play very spazzy in general, but the strategy of playing like a complete NIT in cash games no longer works in 2017 poker. For the most part, cash games are very boring. Most times, you are grinding away for a 3bb/100 winrate playing the same stack depth, same blind levels, over and over again.

In 2017 poker, the fish are looking for fun and entertainment. In Cash games where the standard of play is so much higher and variance is lower than MTTs, fish have much less of a shot at winning long term, with many getting completely crushed. The variance in MTTs is what attracts fish, they don't have to be as good to win in the format as they do in cash games. Fish do not get eaten alive as easily in MTTs which is why MTTs are the most profitable format of poker present day.

The fact that the blinds never increases and there's no antes in cash games also force you to play much tighter than in an MTT, yawn. There's a lot more "situations" that come up in MTTs compared to cash games, meaning you are constantly having to adjust your ranges to suit what is optimal, not so much the case in cash games.
