Tournament or cash game?

[Station_Master]

Cash games are much more flexible as you can play as long or as little as you like. For me more interesting too as you are playing deeper stacked.

I would also choose to play tournaments; it's where I get my best performance, as much as I like the "dynamics" of cash games...

I prefer tournaments because when playing for money, it's rare that I don't end up losing money.

If you have $10 to play and try to multiply, which format would you choose?
Personally, I prefer tournaments. The upside is bigger, but the downside is the time commitment — it can easily last 3 hours or more.

hi all , I'd say go for which format you have an edge in .... from the time aspect , I guess if you have a reasonable edge in cash games , then do that ,
the bad part with cash games is that if you get stuck , then the games can go on for hours and lead to even more losses,
MTT at least you're just trying to get ITM , once achieved , then start looking for a deep run , of course the same applies , you need to have
a good ITM percentage in MTT to grow that BR , I have about a 33% chance of ITM , so thats good for me I guess , a work in progress

I'd always play in a tournament format. Anytime of day. But I go for cash games if between friends and families.

with $10... cash game ainec! It wouldn't take long to turn $10 into $20 playing some 2nl cash tables. (maybe an hour?).
So 1 hr. later I could choose both, $10 on MTT's, and keep the other $10 to continue to make more playing 2nl tables.

I prefer tourney play, you have the additional ICM factor.

You can make or lose more money in cash games.

Tourneys.

Tournament for the glory but cash games for the bills, honestly. Tournaments are a total grind where you can play perfect for hours and still get stacked by a donkey hitting a two-outer on the bubble, but nothing beats that final table adrenaline.

Якби у вас було 10 доларів для гри та ви спробували б помножити їх, який формат ви б обрали?
Особисто я надаю перевагу турнірам. Переваги більші, але недоліком є часові витрати — вони легко можуть тривати 3 години або більше.

I would play freerolls and tournaments with buy-in $0.25

 

[Nawaf]

I prefer tournaments. In my opinion its more exciting

 

[antonis32123]

Maybe the right answer is sngs and cash games . But still I prefer tournaments cause they are more interesting, better prizes and great thrill moments of you go deep or close to the FT But they demand a great amount of time

[DarkSage]

At tournaments you'll take a long time to loose cheap buy in.
At cash you'll loose big amounts very quicly. Pick your choice.

 

[ninocabral]

[Gagner]

I like tourney as poker is just a hobby for me and I like the possible reward for tournment.
