Jambot 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm trying to move from almost exclusively playing MTTs (with a few SNGs) into cash games. I'm getting tired of the repeated time drain for mini reward that tends to come from tournament play and I want more flexibility with my free time. I'm sure this has been asked before, but are there any cardinal rules I should observe here? Has anyone else who has moved from tournaments to cash found any particular leaks that have been somewhat caused by playing a lot of tournaments?So far I've been playing capped NLHE at 1/2. I've found I can get a bit carried away in hold em if I get on a heater and build a decent stack up, so the cappage has helped curb that for now.Also playing PLO8 at .50/1 and limit PLO8 at 1/2 and am finding that I'm clocking some good sessions playing this. Play seems so weak from a lot of folks.My bankroll is around the $4,000 mark in case anyone is wondering.Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites

mike8732 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Get ready for the brutal downswings, I switched from mtt's to cash for the same reason and i doubled my bankroll and now i've lost it and I'm under what I started with, but I'm also a donkey lol Link to post Share on other sites

Nik00117 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's about the profit, not the chips. That's my opinion, in a tournament i'm after the chips in a cash game I'm all about the cash. I won't go all in a cash game, to me it's sensless if I have a great hand I'll bet pop, if I got the best hand possible I'd bet more then the pot slightly. In a MTT i'd go all in much quicker, simply because I need every single chip I can get my greedy hands on. Link to post Share on other sites

redonkulous 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i think he means before the floopits still silly....just to be clear im not advocating spew shoving in cash or tournaments but the same principle would apply whether its before or after the flop...obviously if its later in the tournament when blinds are high its a different story.....but thats not what he said.....unless u specify im gonna assume thats his general concept on both the games Link to post Share on other sites
