[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] callmeishmale does have a good point but in tournaments when you get to the final couple of tables you can't tell me those players aren't good. [/ QUOTE ] You highly underestimate the short-term variance required in multi-table tournaments. If you keep posting in 2+2 and get involved in strategy posts and the whatnot, a year from now you'll look at your posts in this thread and realize how ridiculous you sound. [/ QUOTE ] michiganfan9, Take this man's great advice. Stop making a fool of yourself. FWIW, it sounds like you'll be a valuable addition to the "WPT, etc" and the "News, Views, Gossip" forums. Adam [/ QUOTE ] FWIW, IMHO NVG is WPT without the idiots.

Re: Greenstein - Good Article.
Don't get me wrong I agree that the better players play in some of those cash games but I disagree with Greenstein's elite 5 players. I believe that playing a tournament is much harder than a cash game though.

Cash games are not hard if you play against worse players, But they do gauge skill much better.

Re: Greenstein - Good Article.
If you think cash games are hard, you're either:
A) no good B) Have horrible game selection.

Re: Greenstein - Good Article.
You're mistaken.
Yes, there may be more 'pressure' in a tournament. But someone who makes bad decisions in a tournament can still easily win one, whereas someone who consistently makes bad decisions in a cash game will go broke. It's that simple. That's what Greenstein is talking about: some schmuck wins a big $10K tournament and he's a 'great player', but put him in the cash games that Greenstein plays in, and he's a fish.
