I enjoy both, but tournaments are my preferred choice because I feel that the playing field is more level as all of us start with the same amount of chips and it's what you can do from there that matters.

Play both, but it's better because it depends on strategy and chip management. It also depends on patience.

I prever cash games plo especially
plo is 5times more aggressive and you have more action in 1hour
i play short sessions 2/3 hours a day..
double tripple buy in and cash out.
I play sometimes small tournaments

I started my poker adventure with cash games, but I was constantly losing money. When I started playing MTT my bankroll grew, the problem is the time you have to spend.

It depends on many factors . But generally I'd say I like more tournaments . They last more , it's more thrilling.

Cash games. I find tournaments much more random and so, much harder to make profit. Oh well, I admit tournaments are fun, since the potential reward vs cost you pay ratio is big, but it is the same with any lottery ;)

Tournaments of course :)
Tournaments, as for me, are more promising and definitely more interesting, although they take a lot of time :)

I enjoy both, but I lean toward tournaments — the thrill of surviving each stage and chasing big prizes is hard to beat!

Hey everyone,

Curious what the community thinks — do you prefer cash games or tournaments?

Cash games give flexibility and steady action, but one bad session can hurt.
Tournaments bring huge highs (and lows) with that one-shot big score feeling.

Where have you had your biggest win or loss? And which format feels better for your game?

GL at the tables!

I prefer tournaments. I like the structure, the excitement of moving up levels, and the chance to turn a small buy-in into a big win. Good luck at the tables.

Me too ;-)

My first tournament win was about $1,800 from a $16.50 buy-in with around 600 players, after about 7 hours of play.

I enjoy tournaments for the thrill and structure, but cash games feel more stable and flexible. What format do you like more, and why?
