Transition From Tournament Poker To Cashgames

[pdr87 0]

I've been playing a lot of tourney poker, esp. lower stakes SNGs. I'm getting a little bored of it, although I am profitable, and wanna start playing some low limit cashgames.How big a downswing should a pretty good SNG player expect when making the transition to low stakes cashgames?What are the main things I need to adjust in my game?

Maybe this should be moved to the NL forum?

Texas hold 'em (also hold'em, holdem) is the most popular poker variant played in casinos in the United States.[1] Hold'em is a community card game where each player may use any combination of the five community cards and their own two hole cards to make a poker hand, in contrast to poker games like stud or draw where each player holds a separate individual hand.and yes, you should. its a totally different game.

not necessarily.. prepare yourself for whatever you are doing and you should be fine in the long run.. If you win 10401013212 this week or lose 2093492942 this week it really doesnt say anything about how you play poker... just work on improving and the results will speak for themselves.

If you're ever expecting to lose, you shouldn't play. Ever.

It's so obvious that I'll point it out...The main difference is that blinds never increase and you can always reload. So unless you are one of those ministackers that everyone hates you are never playing short stack poker, you never HAVE to play marginal hands. Also you likely get called down more often because there is no "putting tournament life at risk" pressure.Depending on how well you adjust you're results will likely fall somewhere between lose whole roll and create a "I hate poker - I quit!" thread and crush game, rapidly jump levels, earn spot on HSP.

What are the main things I need to adjust in my game?

The biggest difference is that cash games are usually played with a higher ratio of stack to the blinds. You can buy-in short and keep playing basically your same game or make adjustments to a deeper game:

• You need to be a lot more cautious with one pair hands.
• Position is more important because you're playing more streets.
• Think about implied odds all the time.
