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?
