I theoratically like the idea of MTTs, but I suck at them, so I vote cash because I can make more money there. I am ok at SNG too and quite like them.
I'm trying to work on my MTT game though, because I think they're much better value than cash. ATM i think I play MTT to much like a nit and I find I can get ITM but rarely final table or the top prizes, so it's never worth it for me, 3-4hours and I make buyin+20% or something lol. Or busto on Bubble.
But I do want to play more and become better at them, but i always get bored playing them after about an hour and fire up cash tables and if i start going well on cash and have say covered my MTT buyin and then some I stop caring about the MTT any more..
I used to grind SNGs & even though i was doing good, i just hated the slowness of it, like playing an hour & bubbling 1 place off being ITM would put me on tilt lol But now its cash games forsure make alot more $ and faster too, plus a suckout or 2 doesn't effect me like in a tourney where i can't rebuy/reload
Prefer cash games over tournys for a couple of reasons. The biggest reason I like cash games is that u can come and go as u please. In a tourny, once u start, plan on being there for 4+ hrs to cash, and several more hrs to make it to the final table, and then possibly a couple of more hrs before reaching 1st. If u have a family or responsibilities, then u probably don't have enough time to invest in becoming a solid tourny player.

Like the most people i like the Cash Games... they are much more funnier ten tournament which are sometimes rlly annoying when people are to bored to continue (if it's low price for enter or freerolls and go all-in with anythink and get yours AA/KK out).

Tried CASH in the past but was break even or even a littl down, so thats still in my mind I am a better player now, but still i never do CASH only SNG/MTT, i make money on those so no need to do CASH imo........
I prefer tournaments. Maybe because sometimes I finished ITM and twice I was able to win. Cash games are funny only if you win but I should be more skilled to win playing them. Everytime I proved to play cash I lost in a long time
What is your choice ?
