Although cash games or the so-called "ring" games are not as exciting (at least for me) as the tournaments, they are my main source of profit. Why? In this post I will explain some of the advantages of the cash games over the tournaments and will show you how you can use them to gain a constant profit.
First of all - imagine yourself playing tournament for 3-4 hours straight. Pretty exhausting, isn't it? And if something happens and you have to leave your computer all your efforts become pointless. That is what I like the most about cash games - you can sit and play for as much time as you want to and can leave without any hesitation. Therefore you have the opportunity to play for an hour, then go out with friends, and maybe come back and play another hour.
Another significant advantage is that you don't have to schedule your time for play ahead. What I mean is you don't have to conform with the tournament schedule so you can play whenever you want. You don't have to start playing at exactly 8:00pm - it's up to you to decide when you can afford to spend an hour or two.
The last reason I like cash games is the most important for my bankroll - the profit you gain on the cash tables is much more reliable. That means if you are playing well, you can gradually build your bankroll - slowly but securely. That is because the variation in the cash games is way less than the variation in tournaments, where you can have a whole week or even a month without any profit even if you play your best game.
I hope today's lesson finds you all well and you will seriously consider playing some poker ring games. I wish good luck and I will see you on the cash tables!
