4. If you want to see whether a player who played almost all tourneys can succeed at cash games, follow me for the next few months. I'm going to be devoting my time to NL cash games, mostly shorthanded. I'm starting at 1-2 and working myself up after I've won predetermined amounts of money. [/ QUOTE ] I beat you to it at 2/4 full. So far, I've played 8K hands over a couple of weeks. Thru 6K hands, I lost money with sets and my biggest loser was QQ. I'm a substantial winner.

like i said, i could probably make quite a long list of winning cash NL players above 5/10 who would be a negative expectation player in a sng filled with as strong subset of sng players. [/ QUOTE ] The point is that those cash game players could learn the skills and concepts of SNG play fairly quickly, where the best SNG players would take longer to learn how to beat 10/20nl.

curtains,
"If you want to see whether a player who played almost all tourneys can succeed at cash games, follow me for the next few months." You will dominate cash games.

Re: Tourney donk revolt - term for cash game player equivalent?
The argument that cash games are harder than tournaments rests upon the foundation that strong cash game players have no trouble in tounaments while the converse is far from accurate. However, this is specious due to the fact that cash games are more convenient.
Simply put, the reason that Phil Ivey is a great cash game specialist is because that was the only form of poker he could play when he was coming up (he couldn't take winnings from a tourney without ID). Mor subtly, cash game thinking is more developed than tournament thinking because players have been doing cash game work much longer. Just because the field of cash game play is further along doesn't make it more complex--it just means it is further along. That being said, it is no surprise that the biggest winners at the WSOP are also big winners in the side games. And, most importantly, if you think inflection point play is easy, you are either a liar or an idiot; I say 'why choose?' --AD

Re: Tourney donk revolt - term for cash game player equivalent?
Really most tournaments are much easier than Cash Games.
Actually let me put this in more comprehensive language.....shallow stack games are much easier than deeper stack games, whether its a tournament or not has little bearing on the issue. ie, the WSOP is much more challenging than a cash game where participants can only buyin for 20x the BB.
