Advice Needed PLS

[stew77]

soooo. i've been playing quite serious for over a year now. right away i started out at sngs and did well. i sucked at MTTs but have def gotten better in recent months. ANYWAY, my dilemma is --- I've been working so hard on my cash game and subscribed to the obvious sites etc etc. BUT i seem to continue to feel mroe comfortable and much better in SNGs and smaller MTTs. More often than not i will dump some of my SNG and MTT winnings in cash games.
I really wish I could become a regular cash game player but i cant seem to break thru. The absolute grind of SNGs and MTTs does not appeal to me, even though my success clearly lays there.
Should i just suck it up and continue to play SNGs and try and work as hard as possible at those? Or go thru the struggle of learning and improving my cash game results?

any sort of advice would help. thx

Cash games can be a much more long term endeavour at the start than mtts/sngs. In SNGs you know within 1-2 hours how your day's going and have an immediate sense of success or failure from stt to stt. In MTTs the variance is a killer and if things aren't going well it would feel like more of a grind than any other kind of poker (I'd imagine). If you started playing cash games too high it could be that you're not a winner or if you're sure you're a winner at the limit you could just be off to a slow start. I know that 10-20k hand swings aren't really all that uncommon.

My success is similar online. In order to become a winning player in cash games I had to start playing live.

I tend to get bored real fast playing cash games online.

Tournaments of up to 60ish players, with 30-40 seeming to be my sweet spot and SNG's are where my best winrates are online.

If you can find a good live low limit game, give it a try once or twice a week. By good I mean enjoyable. Almost all low-limit games are easy to beat. It shouldn't be to hard to find a friendly weak passive game that will give a good win rate, and have less variance then a casino game, especially if it is limit.

Try buying in short to cash games (40 or 50bbs). The biggest leak most people have in cash games is loss of focus or tilt. Buying in short will make your losses smaller. Also your tournament success is likely due in part to good short stack play. Buying in full is recomended by most sites because it makes the biggest winners the most money. Since you are not winning buying in full is costing you the most money. Learn to play short and gradually move into full buy ins.

Horrible advice.
