Cash vs Tournaments: Which is easier to manage a bankroll for?

[Bawse]

Personally, I think it’s easier to manage a bankroll in tournaments than in cash games.
I strongly believe this, which is why I play tournaments exclusively.

While tournament variance is higher, I find that downswings are less damaging if you’re properly rolled and disciplined. In contrast, cash games can expose more of your bankroll in a shorter period, which can make swings feel more immediate and impactful.

Curious to hear other perspectives, what do you guys think?

The cash games stress me more than anything. The tournaments at least give structure. I remember having a session, the power went off and by the time I came back, I was still live in the tournament. But for cash ganes? that same delay would have wiped your position.
