Good old cash vs MTT?
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). |

Re: Good old cash vs MTT?
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. |

Re: Good old cash vs MTT?
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. |
