I sort of agree. You can bink a tourney, and beat anything you'd make on a cash game, but cash games are faster money.

Generally cash is a bit more profitable.

Reason being is you have more in your control. Also you are generally deeper stacked(aka larger edges).

You choose the table, you choose the seat, you choose your breaks, you choose the length of your session, there are also more cash game hours available per day than Mtts.

I generally prefer to play cash games. I have only played poker tournaments only twice. With cash games, it is easy to approach poker as a steady income source. I have used cash games to help myself through difficult financial positions several times. Winning poker tournaments can change your financial life for the better though.

Cash games is easy to win than tournament . Tournament can stress out a player who don't have resilient and discipline but cash game is one time affair. Though, tournament is more rewarding but can you be lucky enough and skillful enough to win the tournament.
