    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 ? You will find a lot  of games to choose from. Lets not get into detail and lets just talk a bit about cash games and poker tournaments  .

    Why Poker Tournaments?

    Online Poker tournaments usually have big prizes  which ofcourse rely  on the buy-in. If you are looking for tournaments with a $5 buy-in then $50,000 prize pool is not bad at all  . You could win about $7,000 there. 5$ buy-in and $7,000… What a great opportunity  ! But the issue is that you could  play 1,000 tournaments and never win one . But still  , you could play 5 and win 2 of them. Online Poker Tournaments are by all odds a good choice because you could  be looking at a big paiday  , you could even retire after you win a certain tournament! Ofcourse, online poker does not always have tournaments with that big volume  . You should choose online poker tournaments if you want to play for a certain 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 be able to play securely  . Meaning for a $5 tournament you should have  a $500 bankroll. But that is just a basic guideline.

    Why Cash Games?

    Cash games are very good if you know how to play , know how to read your opposition  and how to maximize your profits. Most important aspect of 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 never propose this to a  novice because you just don’t have enough time to decide correctly  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 quickest way to maximize your bankroll.  With cash games, another important aspect arises,
     Poker Rakeback which maximizes your earnings  . Think about 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 will definitely maximize your  profits. Noxwin Rakeback for example, you get a minimum of 30% rake back, if you rake $3,000, you get $1,000 back! Even governmentsdon’t have such great tax refund! Cash games usually require a tight game style if you play every day, so you would minimize your losses. Do not misunderstand me , you can’t win every single 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 people who know a bit of poker  .

    Perfect your game, learn the angles, study all that is necessary and beat them all !
