Mr Bubbles Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Just thought I would ask peoples opinions on this. Had some money in my account recently so instead of playing the freerolls I thought I would have a shot at some money games. Started on STT's $5 10 seats and made the cash in my first 6 games, excellent I thought, so then decided to try it on the cash tables, And proceeded to lose most of it until I tilted when I reached my last few chips and inflicted a nasty bad beat in my favour and won a few back. Since then I have stuck to the STT's mainly and on the 10 person tables I have been well up (although either mainly coming 1st or 3rd, extremely rarely 2nd) but not so great on the 5 person tables where I have made the cash say only 25% of time. The point of my waffle is that I don't feel like I have changed my game really too much throughout, so the total mixture of the results is quite suprising, I guess my game play could suit the STT's more than cash and with a STT I generally have enough concentration to play tight with out so many moments of maddness which i am akin to in MTT's, however I was suprised to see the record so poor on 5 person STT's compared to 10 version.

slick mick Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Cash games vs STT's 10 or seaters etc In brief - All completely different games requiring different tactics. If your game works for the full STT then stick to it. I like cash games and STTs and make a profit at both but they have to be played completely differently. Same goes for MTTs different tactics again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runadrum Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Cash games vs STT's 10 or seaters etc 9 or 10 seat STTs for me rather than the 5 seat versions, simply because they pay better. The only cash games I have made any profit on were on Betfair and even then I think I gave a lot of it back when trying to repeat it a few days later, so in general I avoid them. My real love is the MTT. I make the money in comparatively few but when you do they can really pay off. Every form of poker requires a mixture of patience and aggression and I think this is best learnt in the MTT arena. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
