I love the instant gratification in cash games. There is nothing i hate more than playing in a tourney for hours for nothing. It seems like so much wasted time. However I do play tourneys because of the allore of the big prize. Tourneys are different game than cash game. Tourneys invovle more strategy because of the elevating blinds and antes. You can't grind out a tourney cash. My biggest beef with the cash games are the people who don't grasp the concept of the difference between cash games and tourneys. I see so many people play the cash games like a tourney, and they are in a big rush to get thier chips in the pot because thats what they see on tv. They don't understand that what they are seeing on tv is the last stages of a tourney or a cash game highlight reel. Some of these people can't wait to put all thier chips in the pot with AK before the flop in a cash game, or make a third or fourth raise with it. Which is a standard tourney play, but a sure way to drain your roll playing cash games.
