Do the best cash game players or the best tournament players average more profit on a daily or weekly basis?

Cash game pros usually have steadier results and can grind consistent volume, while tournament players often deal with much bigger swings but have the potential for massive scores.

Do you think elite cash game grinders make more overall because of consistency, or do top MTT players come out ahead thanks to huge tournament payouts?

Personally, I think cash game players generally have the more reliable income stream, but top tournament crushers can have insane upside when they hit big runs.

I think the best cash game players usually make more consistent daily or weekly profit. That's because they can play steady volume with lower variance. Tournament players can have massive scores, but results are often swingier. I believe cash games generally provide more predictable income if the player has a strong edge.

I think the cash game grinders probably sleep better at night Tournament money is attractive because of those huge screenshots I see people post online, but the swings can mess with you mentally. Imagine grinding for weeks with nothing solid to show while bills is waiting for you. Cash games look boring but steady income is never a small thing in this present economy.

I think the best cash game players average more consistent daily or weekly profit. Top tournament players can earn bigger scores, sometimes dramatically bigger, but their results are often much swingier.
