Default Are you Better at Cash Games or Tourneys?

Here's a question I've been meaning to ask. I'm curious to see whether you are better in cash games or tounaments. I see posts where players say they rarely play cash games and almost always play tourneys, and vise versa. I presume players play most where they make more money.

So, are you better in cash games or tourneys? Please VOTE and if you have time, leave a comment to explain why you find you do better there too.

I am about the same. Nothing special here, I just know basic Tournament strategy and basic Cash Game strategy.

I seem to be better at cash games. Of course, I don't play many tournies, so that could be why. I'm not that great with tournament strategy, and have never really been that successful which caused me to stick to cash games, which I have had much more success.

I am much better in cash games, as I have really only read cash game books, I started to focus more on them.

About like gamer...pretty close to the same...I'd say 60% cash / 40% tourneys most of the time, but it flip-flops...used to be 80% / 20%, but practice and literature make all the difference over time.

By far cash games. I can't seem to adjust my play well enough to tourneys, as in I tend to use same strategies and moves I do in cash games, and the two are completely different worlds. Altough, I did manage to catch my first big tournament win in a $15 buy-in tourney with 70 or so players. I mostly play tournament for fun and to pass time, haven't really concentrated on them much except while playing of course. I make my earnings from cash games, and probably always will. I don't see myself getting into tournament play.

When I first started playing, it was tournaments. Then I had a period where I was much more successful at cash games. Now I seem to be favoring tournaments a bit. So I guess I have to say about the same. Lol, I think it depends on what style I'm reading about and thinking about at the time.
