Default Tournament or Cash Game

Simple:

Are you primarily a Tourrnament player (STTs, MTTs), or a cash game player. Which do you usually play and why?


I myself play tournament poker almost exclusively, making an exception for the occasional 1c/2c or 5c/10c session on paradise. I usually play STTs on DoylesRoom, but I play freerolls alot too.

I am strictly tourney! I love any type but especially MT-SNG and MTTs!

I much prefer the thrills and spills of tournament poker. I find sitting there in a cash game for hours grinding out so many BB per hour excrutiatingly boring. For me, the added survival element, coupled with the need to stay ahead of the blinds/antes, gives tourney poker an excitement that ring poker just can't match.

I don't think I play them equally, but close enough.

MTTs are for cheap fun, ring is for building my bank - so why have I lost 80$ at ring and won $500 in MTTs in the last 2 months?

I love playing MTTs, but I rarely have 5+ hours to sit on my ass playing them. So I play alot more ring cash games, probably play cash games 90% of the time.

I play both (usually not at the same time!) depending on what I feel like doing.

I love MTT's, but usually only play cash games unless I have a significant block of time.
