Lucky_Guy Posted May 7 Lucky_Guy Posted May 7 Hey everyone:) I would love to get your opinion on a classic poker dilemma: do you enjoy grinding tournaments more, or do you stick to straight-up cash games? Both formats have their own perks and pitfalls, so I’m curious where you land and why. Personally, I lean toward tournaments. The buy-in’s locked, I can focus on each hand, and let the structure guide my decision-making. I also find that table dynamics can shift in interesting ways: players tighten up or loosen at specific blind levels, that you just don’t get in a cash session. That pressure forces everyone to adapt, which keeps me sharper. But I get the cash-game too • Sit down or stand up whenever you want • Reload if someone smacks you in the face • Deeper stacks • No late-night marathon if you bust early So, for you: • What makes you choose one format over the other? • Do you switch depending on mood, bankroll, or schedule? • Any underrated pros or cons I haven’t mentioned? Share your thoughts, stories. Looking forward to hearing how the rest of you approach this never-ending debate! Cheers, and good luck at the tables 👊🎲 Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/128-what-do-you-prefer-tournaments-or-cash-games/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
