some ppl play theexact same way and it costs them
Of course, I will never call an all in at a cash game preflop with a small to medium pair, or with AK. Which I would have no problem doing in most parts of a tournament.
For me it depends on my chip stack. If I'm tripled up in either situation I'll play the same, but with a average or lower stack my game will change a bit. In these situations I play tighter in cash with suited connectors or heavy aces. In tournaments it is less risky to play a larger range.
If I played cash, I'd have to develop a whole different skillset. Tournament poker has a lot of quirks.
Tournament poker is definately a more skilled game. However, cash is the easiest way to guarantee a quick win.
Most cash players would disagree with this statement, ala they call them donkamentsQuote:

Cash games are more nerve racking and require a more disciplined skill set. Some cash players can't cut it in tournaments, and some tournament players get ate up playing cash games.
Its all about stack size. In tournaments it varies greatly through out the tournament. In cash I am always sitting at 100bb+. It definetly alters play depending on stack size.
I do, just like most players. At some cash games, it seems like they're playing every hand, and it players out more like a rebuy tournament.
no i playcash more tigjt becase of 50-100 bb in any time
The differences in these two games (IMO) are way to many to list at 1:42 am but thats a big 10/4, yes I play them not the same way...
I play tournaments a little different from cash games... In a tournament, your tournament life is always at risk, so I use that factor to win and fold a lot of hands....Because regardless of how good you play in a during the tournament, its either you in the money or you not... In a cash game, you can always buy back in, so im a little more loose...
of course you have to play different, in cash, blinds remain constant in time, in a tournament not, so it all depends on how much blinds you have
You might need to play more tight in a tournament because the blinds are changing or you might need to become more loose because there are antes involved it depends on who is at your table and cash games with blinds the same its a much easier game to play very loose.
I hope to god so. If not you are going to get crushed in a cash game, lol
i play almost the same way.in the cash 6 max it is a race, u need be little more loose.Quote:

i do play cash games differently than in tournies, the dreaded all in can destroy a hard earned bankroll.no way i want to lose it all,or most of it,by making a bad call,all in or not,so i do play cash tighter than in tournies.
I think they're very different games and require totally different strategies. I think I like the fight for survival aspect of tournaments more though.
of course I play cash games different. in a cash game there's no big picture, in tournaments you're trying to outlast everyone else
Depends on the scenario, some are similar.. Most are different.
:cool:
I'm still learning how to play cash games well... I can only afford to play them online and ususally end up getting a little too loose and playing lower suited one gappers and end up with some questionable calls or folds. In tournaments I seem to be able to let things go unless i hit a monster with the lower end gappers.
I do play cash differently than tournaments.. because tournaments my loss is the entry fee.. cash my loss could be the bankroll...
I play cash a little more tighter than a tourney, because when you get down to it, your going to waste money more so than a tourney.
yea of course! You have to play different! Toattaly different game!
Most of the time tournament play is a good way to start before you get a feel for the actual players at the table. Alot of people at cash games are far too aggressive and theres many situations where you can take a nice pot off these types of people.
i usually bot both pretty tight but i do seem to do a bit more gambling on a tournement.
If you don't play diff..then it will cost u more money....
you have to play different, because its 2 different games!
