Cash players or tournament players?

[yesimadonkey]

the most skillful players cant do well in both cash and tourneys its the matter of being able to switch your playing style

[RWPFhero]

Each require different skills. In a tourney everyone starts out with the same amount, a cash game could vary on the players buy in.

[allinlater]

each is a deffernt style of game. cash is more stressful then a tourney

[StephyMarieC]

The most skilled player will be good at both cash games and tounrnaments. The best pokers have a set of skills not just one.

I think an argument can be made for both, different mindset

[ddavey25]

I believe cash players and tourny players to be well rounded need to have the same skills to be successful in either.

I think the harder of the 2 are cash games. But tournaments are tough in there own right to, you have to make some tough decisions at times otherwise you are out. Even calling a idiot with Aces makes it tough with the shit people from here and everywhere shove with. But I would say cash games are tougher, just because, well for me, the fact is I buy into a cash games once, and not for the max ever, in the middle of max and min, and it is very tough to get in one and try to double the max buy in. It's also tougher imo because others like to just buy back in over and over again, and if they are steaming, it makes you job much harder. In a tournament, you bust him out, you don't have to worry about him, in cash game, he get right back in there and you got a huge target on your back instantly. That is also why I don't like rebuy tourneys, CASH GAMES FOR SURE!

everyone is talking about different skills set but no one is being specific.

Outside of the ability to re-buy or top-off in cash games, i would say the big difference is that cash games are deep stack poker so people can take more risks leading to a looser and higher variance game.

also in cash games you don't need to take into consideration your m-value which helps if you're getting short stacked and decide not to top-off, so playing short stacked is a bit easier.

what else am i missing?
