What's better: tournament poker or cash poker?

As a poker player of many years who is off to a cash game, I will answer this question. Poker cash games and tournaments have very different strategies and very different odds of winning. In a tournament game you play against all types of people: great poker players, good poker players, bad poker players, drunks... everyone.

The bigger the tournament, the greater the number of variables. The last World Series of Poker tournament had $8,546,435 in prize money and 6,494 participants shooting for the pot. As much as poker is about skill, luck comes into play as well - a lot of beginners play aggressively and it can be difficult to survive in tournament without playing them once in a while.

Simply put, the odds of taking out a big tournament are slim indeed. Skills will give you an advantage, but the element of chance is a part of the equation and you need an enormous amount of patience and discipline. It is a lot easier to win smaller tournaments.

A cash game bears a lot of similarities to a single table tournament. The only difference is that in a tournament, you play until all the money (or chips) are gone. There is one clear winner.In a cash game, you keep playing, and playing, and playing... until people decide to stop.

People don't need to employ the same levels of bankroll management, so they may be more inclined to bet bigger and/or get more chips. A good cash game can pay out more than a small tournament, but you have to be prepared to be in for the long haul. Speaking for myself: in a cash game most of the time I will walk out with as much or more money than I walked in with.

In a single table tournament I might win a third when I am playing with people of a similar ability level. I have won a couple of multi-table tournaments but never anything big.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
