Age Old Question! Tournament pros vs Cashgame pros

first

btw, can mod change title to Age Old Question~~

Its 3:30am and I can't spell for shit.

lmao that gif is insane

Who the fuck cares, this industry is about how much you win and also how can you market yourself when it comes to live MTTs.

Hahah title was so confusing, glad u commented cuz i had no idea wtf Age of Question meant lol.

Couldnt decide if it was Age Old Question, Question for the Ages, or maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about

Oh, ya, the actual post um...

A pro is anyone that does something for a living. So if they make their living playing tournies, they are a pro. I do agree that cash pros > tournie pros

there's nothing to discuss, everyone knows this

I think any person who spends most of their time on poker should care~~~

in b4 'nobody likes u, gtfo'

i like this argument.

Tournaments are a whole lot of really hard work for a very simple strategy, at least when it comes to non-live big tourneys anyways. no doubt there is a lot more depth to a cash player's game. The difference is that you have to make yourself grind those 1.5mill hands whereas with tournaments once you sign up u have a start and end point so it's easier to grind them. More grueling, but you need less motivation. As far as the numbers go I would say that the hands at the final table aren't the only thing that's important. That's like saying only pots that you were all-in in cash games are important so if out of 1.5million hands you are all in 10% of the time then you only have 150,000 important hands too.

Mostly agree, except ur final point, because we are still playing texas holdem so by ur logic then it should be the 120000 hands on the final table and of those the 10% that you are allin so that makes it 12000.

See what im sayin?

could maybe say all itm hands are significant because they effect ur bottomline, but i chose not to because when your just itm your basically only paying off the buyin and the structure is so top heavy that only the final table make any decent money.

Where as in cashgames, every hand you play will directly affect your bottomline.

Theres probably some form of flaw or circular logic going on here but I'm not smart enough to find it. But how can you arbitrarily say only ITM/FT tables affect your bottom line/are important? Suppose the most unluckiest tourney pro gets bubbled every single tournament on a KK vs AA or AA vs KK suckout, does he not play a single important hand at all in the year? Of course thats a super extreme example, but I feel like hands leading up to ITM also have some weight.

On the other hand, if a FPP pro plays 3million hands playing 6/6 at FR or something equally as ridiculous, meaning he only plays 180k hands, how does that compare with someone who plays 1million hands at 22/18 or what have you?

I think at the end of the day, who cares what route one chooses to take to make money so long as its within the legal route. For a cash game pro to shit on tourney pros for not being real pros is akin to having a live pro shit on online pros, or having someone with a normal 9-5 shit on poker players for being lucky degenerate gamblers.

LOL WOBBLY i know you are good at poker but there is more important things the money and poker. who gives a shit if they are called a pro, donk, bitches, pussies, luckboxes. Just care about your own goals and morals. who gives a shit about other thinks about others. i mean poker is already stressful enough thinking for yourself, now you want to have a debate on a useless topic. Just use your common sense, no one gives a shit about these little things, well maybe btiches do.
