Yes, now all the cool kids are talking about wiping their ass with 8 grand. (9 if they had chili)

okay, I apparently need to watch more poker on tv or something... cuz I lurk the hell outta the forums, and have no idea what you're talking about.

although, the chili reference made me kinda hungry.

I am stunned at how much tougher ( and tighter) the cash games are. Or, to put it better, I am stunned at how many inferior players populate the MTT's. A typical MTT table will have 1-4 poor players through level 4, and 1-2 poor players pretty deep into the tourney. That is a significant edge for a good player. I am speaking of the $100 tourneys mostly.

This is why i play tournaments, i have a feeling cash games are goign to get harder and harder, as the fish slow down playing them... but tournaments have the lottery aspect and will constantly draw new fish in. It's much harder for people to get sick of losing at tournaments, they expect it to eb like a lottery so when they lose it's not as depressing as constantly losing at a cash game.

MTT's is defeinitly the best area to specialize in.

Still enough bad play for just a decent player to clean up < 1/2 NL and < 3/6 Limit even at so called tough sites like Pokerstars.

But the stuff I see regularly in the low to mid buyin MTT's just boggles the mind. I have started playing MTT's a lot more lately. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

yeah, its nice, not only that people exit rather quickly, but also, once the discerning player finally opens up, there are plenty of donks with tons of chips.

I think one of the problems is probably you're not a good cash game player. In fact you did say it.

I am a mediocre cash player at this point, inferior to my tournament play for sure.
