Tournaments vs. Cash Games: Which One Do You Prefer?

[Gilead]

Each format has its pros and cons. I prefer cash games for the flexibility, but tournaments bring that final table excitement. What about you?

I never play cash games on principle—I see them as a form of gambling with a high risk of losing everything. Tournaments, especially freezeout ones, are a much better option in my opinion. They require more skill, strategy, and discipline, making them a more sustainable way to play poker.

Both tournaments and cash games have their own unique thrill! Tournaments bring excitement with structured play and big prize pools, while cash games offer flexibility and instant winnings. supers9game.app

I don't like playing cash games at the moment and prefer tournaments, especially the CC freerolls.
I prefer to play straight spins with 3 people. They are quick and can be played anytime and anywhere. Also very convenient on a mobile phone if you only play 1 spin.

I play tournaments, not a fan of cash tables.

I prefer tournaments. In them you can make your ticket a much bigger prize. In addition, cash tables don't have as much reading or playability, you just have to wait for hands.

Tournaments take a long time, especially with long late registration to make the guaranteed prize pool, wheras cash games can be played as little or as much as you like.
However, I worry about colluders in cash games wheras this isn't really an issue in tournaments.

I've been thinking a lot about reducing my online games, I've seen so many absurdities happening that I'm going to spend a season at my house in São Paulo and go play at the H2 poker house

Cash Games are pure skill.

Tournaments are lotteries with a little edge if you are better than the field.

I've always liked playing tournament poker more.

 

[Claudiunm]

I prefer tournaments. Cash game is for those who have a lot of money. lol

 

[odonob]

I am a losing cash player, so prefer tournaments. I am used to the rhythm of them and like that you can see an end line also. Cash games are extremely random and difficult to get an edge.

I like to play tournaments but only turbos and hypers

I've always only played the cache... because of time... I tried the tournament, albeit for a long time, but it was productive... There is a lot of risk in cash, and in tournaments, if you play the right way, there are always opportunities... the main thing to remember is that this is not a freeroll and take the game more seriously... and don't be too greedy)

 

[eberetta1]

I win more money playing tournaments, but I really do like playing in cash games which tend to bleed my winnings from tourneys.

Hi
I prefer tournaments because cash games are too difficult for me. Tournaments bring me pleasure and thanks to tournaments, my bankroll is growing steadily.

 

[sleepers332]

I started out manly on cash tables but have swapped over to tournaments of late just rush of getting to the final table and chance to multiple your buy in has to much of an allure

 

[celinhanicolau]

I prefer MTT tournaments, because there is an adrenaline rush in their phases and a greater study regarding the tournament phases and it is certainly a safer game, my experiences in cash games are not good hehehehe.

 

[oriole]

It depends on the mood—cash games for consistency and freedom, but tournaments for the thrill and big rewards!

 

[OliviaGiraud]

I prefer tournaments; they offer an exciting structure with ups and downs in chip stacks, as well as the chance to win big prizes with a single win.

 

[cwdignus]

Even though tournaments take a long time and sometimes fall just before cash, I still prefer tournaments, especially those where I can get a free or cheap ticket.
