Do You Prefer Cash Games or Tournaments—and Why?

[Houbi37]

I’m curious to hear what everyone prefers: cash games or tournaments?
I enjoy both, but I find tournaments more exciting because the pressure keeps building as the blinds go up. On the other hand, cash games are great for deeper strategy and more controlled decisions.
What suits your playstyle better? And why?

I like both but tournaments are more exciting although a bit longer.

Tournaments for me, a lot more money on them

I prefer tournaments because I'm not a compulsive gambler. I only gamble as a hobby.

Both are good, the advantage of cash games is fast, you win or lose, instead of a tournament it takes time, how much fun they pressure you to put on your batteries if you don't run out of chips just like that.

I am always a cash game player... you play and can come out any time for short duration. MTTs are very much longer and it takes time. I play MTTs only during weekend and in Weekdays if I know I can spend 5-6hours or more in MTT without any external disturbances

I prefer tournaments, cause i am MTT player so love to play tourneys doesn't matter it's 8 , 9 , or 12 hours of duration ,for me it is some kind of a test of character and my skill in poker. When i play cash games it become boring, a lot of tight players - especially in rush&cash games(zoom tables). So that's it.

Mich würde interessieren, was ihr bevorzugt: Cash Games oder Turniere?
Ich mag beides, aber Turniere finde ich spannender, weil der Druck mit steigenden Blinds immer weiter zunimmt. Cash Games hingegen eignen sich hervorragend für ausgefeiltere Strategien und überlegtere Entscheidungen.
Was passt besser zu deinem Spielstil? Und warum?

Hello, for my part, I prefer to play tournaments, I'm rather bad at cash games.
I enjoy PLO tournaments the most.

Tournaments. Can’t win in cash, it’s impossible, too difficult so gave up.

Cash games = steady, predictable value. You control session length, variance is lower, skill edge shows faster, and bankroll swings are easier to manage. Tournaments = huge upside but brutal variance, long hours, and payout structure that punishes small mistakes. Cash is better for consistent profit and controlled grind. Tournaments are better if you chase big scores and can handle long downswings. I prefer both )
