GENERAL POKER STRATEGY - TOURNAMENTS

Tournaments are now everywhere and can be played 24/7 on the internet, plus they can be played daily at casinos around the world. So it appears obvious to the aspiring poker pros that tournaments are the best place to make a great living at poker.

Well, it depends. Much of it depends on your personality and your capacity for pain and disappointment. If you don't mind losing 99% of the time you play, and if you don't mind winning a tournament about one in a one hundred times, or less, and that it doesn't affect the way you play, then playing tournaments for a living is probably for you. If, on the other hand, you like to win more than half the time you play, then cash games or internet play is probably better for you.

An interesting fact is that most professional poker player, even the famous ones you see on TV, actually make their primary income from cash games, not tournaments. In fact, many famous players attend tournaments primarily because the cash side games are usually so profitable and any money won in tournaments is just a bonus.

We are of course, assuming that you are not one of the top 100 poker players in the world who would do great at both cash games and tournaments.
