I prefer a tournament, I haven't adapted to cash, I think it's very difficult and a little more complicated.

I feel more comfortable playing tournaments.
In cash games, the money pressure is real — it affects my decision-making because I actually see my chips (money) disappearing, and it makes me play more cautiously.

For me it's generally like this: 40% MTT tournaments, 40% S&Go games in DoN version, 20% cash games

Each format has its pros and cons. I prefer cash games for the flexibility, but tournaments bring that final table excitement. What about you?
MTTs, of course, cash games are for weird people who enjoy seeking tiny edges

I don't know, for me, cash is more of a gambling addiction than tournaments. That's why I'll choose tournaments.

I deeply prefer Tournaments, the dynamics of ICM makes the whole difference on the game vs the pure CeV on cash games

Each is good in its own way. But personally, I prefer tournaments.

I really prefer tournaments, they are what I have studied the most, they require more time but the truth is that I am excited to study real money, because they study a lot more.

I think both formats are very good but I mostly prefer cash games because they don't last as long

I prefer tournaments, let's be honest with ourselves, we all remember certain players that we met in tournaments, my number 1 enemy is MALANOCHE (midnight) when he appears my table is doomed and I always want to beat him, plus people remember our names if we are at the final table
