Big Tourney = Softer Cash Games?
I am going to be in Vegas in a few weeks and there is a series of tournaments at Caesar's that week(end). So I am wondering if them having large buy in tourneys means I should make a point to go play in cash games there vs. another room on the strip that weekend?

I can't speak for Vegas, but when big tourneys come thru my home card room (which is the only one for 2.5 hours - hence no competition), the games get noticeably softer and fluffier.
I never miss a circuit event, and I rarely play tournaments. |

Re: Big Tourney = Softer Cash Games?
I've played tournament time in the local (AC) cash games.
The good: More players = more games (selection). Playing people who are recently bust in that day's event can be very lucrative - they are on mega-tilt often and will generally stack off light. Also you'll occasionally see people trying to earn their buyin for the next tournament in cash games after failing in the satellites. They stack off super light too. The bad: Sharks aren't stupid, they'll be trailing the smell of the fish. Don't get the two confused [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

I made a point of heading to the local card room on 7/7/7 (July 7 this year) thinking the mad azn gamboolers would be out in force. Apparently everyone else had the same idea: those were some of the toughest games I've played in all year. |

Re: Big Tourney = Softer Cash Games?
I find this to be somewhat true up here in Minny.
We have the Fall Classic in Oct at Canterbury and it brings all the No Limit Tournament players up for the daily tourneys but the thing is we don't have NL ring games so many of these people end up sitting in limit games which is not their regular game and you can just see them steaming when their AA looses in a typical multiway CP hand when someone makes their straight on the river. |
