Hi all,
Sorry if this is the once a week topic in the forum, but I'll ask it anyway. I choose to post here because I'm playing cash at the moment, and you guys (I imagine) would be mainly MTT, so you're in a position to persuade me. I'm a regular at the 10nl / 25nl tables. I can say with reasonable confidence that I can be a winning player at 10nl, and at this stage, I think I'm a winner at 25nl. Bankroll is around $300 (I know under rolled for 25nl) but I was higher before and took a hit from signing up for card runners. I'm at a crossroads trying to decide if I should take up playing MTT's, or stick with griding out cash games. Pro's and Con's I can see as follows. Cash games - Pros - * Flexibility, I can get up whenever I want * Availability, I can sit down and play in any game almost whenever I want, always running * Less? Variance. Seems like I've got more guaranteed winnings grinding it out then a streak of loosing in MTT's. Cons - * Although there isn't much risk (see variance) not much reward either, no big 'payday' available MTT - Pro's - *Paydays, that first place seems oh so juicy, and one MTT win could equal months of grinding cash. Con's - *Once you start you're locked in for a few hours, and possibly with no return *Variance, seems like you're putting those hours of work up on a coin flip sometimes. Is the big payday achievable, or am I chasing a pipe dream? P.s. I've much around in MTT's, one win, few final tables, in money a fair amount of the time, but no official stats, so probably loosing more then what my brain remembers (selective memory). |

try MTTs, see if you like them.
Another pro of MTTs is that you encounter many different and interesting situations. MTT's are much less monotonous than cash games. |

I am convinced if i could play 200nl with any amount of success i would play the sunday million until i luckboxed that [censored]. I also kno this is a terrible mindset, but what im trying to say is why not play both and use one as a stepping stone into the other. Win a tourney, get a cash game coach, or learn to beat cash games @ a successful rate that allows for a MTT budget (for lack of better term), sound good?
I would love to hear some input on this from the forum. |
