Poker Tournaments or Real Money Cash?

Online Poker Tournaments vs Cash Game

If you play online poker then you must take into account different aspects  . What to choose ? Which game to learn  ? Why should i play this ? There are number of games to choose from. Lets not get into detail and lets just explain why tournaments or why cash games .

Why Poker Tournaments?

Online Poker tournaments commonly have big prize pools which ofcourse depend on the buy-in. If you are looking for tournaments with a $5 buy-in then $50,000 prize pool is pretty good . It is possible to win approximately  $7,000 there. 5$ buy-in and $7,000… That’s just awesome  ! But the thing is that you could  play 1,000 tournaments and never finish first  . But at the same , you could play 5 and win 2 of them. Online Poker Tournaments are by all odds a good choice because you could get paid a lot , you could even retire after winning a certain tournament! Ofcourse, online poker does not feature such high prize pool tourneys . Pick  online poker tournaments if you want to stake a definite amount and would like to control how much you spend on a given day . It is said that you should  have at least 100x the buy-in in your bankroll to manage yourself nicely . Meaning for a $5 tournament it would be wise to have a $500 bankroll. But that is just a basic guideline.

Why Cash Games?

Cash games are greatly profitable if you are experienced  , know how to read your opposition  and how to maximize your winnings. Key point for  cash games is knowing how to pick a game  . If you play aggressively  then definitely go for the tighter tables because it is simpler to steal then  . If you play tight then look for the looser players, they will definitely pay you if you have the nuts ! If you play 20 tables at once then staying focused is VERY IMPORTANT. I would never suggest this to a beginner because you do not have the time  to make your decisions and eventually youstart making mistakes. Online Poker Cash Games usually have about 20 second window for decisions , some feature a time bank for extra time. If you are experienced  then cash games are the option for you as it is the fastest way to maximize your bankroll.  With cash games, another important aspect arises,
 Poker Rakeback which increases your winnings  . Think of  rakeback as tax refund, you pay rake to a poker room and they refund you a part  – Rakeback.  If you play 10,000 hands per month then rakeback can help you a lot when thinking about bigger profits. Noxwin Rakeback for example, you get a minimum of 30% rake back, if you rake $3,000, you get $1,000 back! Even governments do not provide this big refund ! At cash games you mostly need a  tight game style if you play every day, this will most likely maximize your winnings . Do not misunderstand me , It’s not possible to win every hand, but in the long run you will be in profit . By long run i mean a week, or a month, or a year. Online Poker Cash Game is my suggestion for all players who have played for a few years .

Perfect your game, learn the angles, study psychology if necessary and beat  everyone !
