So I've been bouncing back in forth between cash games and tournaments a lot lately and I know several other posters are as well.
I've noticed quite a few differences in cash games and tournaments. So I thought a thread to discuss those differences might be helpful. Feel free to add any you have noticed. Here are a few things I have noticed: 1) Tournament villains are way worse on average than cash game villains. By worse, I mean tournament villains are bigger calling stations and overvalue weak hands more. So this means a couple of things: In tournaments more than in cash games, look to shove the river for value. Also, you might play marginal to strong hands more aggressively in tournaments b/c you will get called lighter. In cash games, you can make an occasional big bluff on the river when you have set yourself up for it. Players will sometimes let go of TP in cash games. 2) The rebuy button is so fantastic in cash games. You can always play 100BBs deep. In tournaments, you are lucky if you get more than 30 minutes of 100BB deep play. This often forces you to play more straightfoward in tournaments than in cash games. A lot of creativity is lost b/c of decreased implied odds. Those are just two with the 2nd one being relatively obvious. Any other differences people have noticed? |
