Tourneys vs Cash Games

OldNantucker · #1 03-06-2007, 02:14 PM

Prior to legislation, I was a 3/6 & 5/10 NL player who could rarely win a big pot (but sometimes lose them) against sharks. There were always two or three players worse than i was who gave all their money away (fortunately sometimes to me).
Now, the combination of fewer fish and difficulties/caution about moving around larger sums of cash has led me to play tourneys exclusively.
Easy to deposit (moneygram, Epass) and little risk for tourneys. Still get the fun of playing, occassionally score big and have never had any problems cashing out.
I hope other recreational players like me don't just give up-just focus on tourneys for now. Good luck.

Low risk means not having large sums of cash at site or at ewallets given the poor climate. Seems to me that you'd need several thousand readily available for cash game play (2/4, 3/6 and up) and don't want to tie up this money.

Send $500-1000 to PS or FT on Monday. Play several toruneys $75-200 buy in range. If I lose all, just make similar deposit the next week. If i cash small, I just leave it on the site and continue to play. Withdraw by check periodically.
