The deeper stacks get, the more important it is to have proper, balanced ranges.

It's been a long-standing joke in poker for decades, that cash game players sit at nearby casinos, waiting for MTT players who have won to dump their money.

Cash games are significantly more complex, but MTT players are much better than they were in the past. 10+ years ago, most MTT players were absolutely horrible poker players. I mean, crazy bad. Now w/ GTO and all the tools that people have to study shove spots, they are much better.

But in general, it does take two slightly different skill sets between the two formats.

Sure require. In cash games first you need to win cash to pay for rake, at tournament you pay rake once. In cash game on 9player + ante is 16bb/100hands

Cash games are significantly more complex.

Actually cash games are significantly more simple, since you always play in chip EV, and usually (at least online) you are around 100BB deep. But deeper stacked poker is definitely more complex, and on average cash games play with a deeper stack than tournaments. So maybe we can call it a draw? As I see it, cash games require you to get really good in one single discipline, which is 100BB no ante chip EV poker. Whereas MTTs require you to get reasonable good at a lot of different situations including different stack sizes, bounties, bubble play, final table dymanics, short handed play and so on.

Ofcourse.
Certain tournaments you just get 1 buy-in, as to cash you can reload anytime. This makes you have definitely a whole other mindset.

For me the cash game is completely different from the tournament, the cash game if you're not careful your cashier empties very quickly and the tournament you pay a fixed amount and there's no danger of losing your cash

I agree! I would also add that the tables are more dynamic, so it is harder to track the profile of the players, while in cash games the same players are kept for longer periods of time, it is easier to identify patterns.

Yeah, each hand reset the situation in MTT dont reset
