RE: [POKERHOLICS - Also at Myspace!!] Tournments vs Cash games........How come you can't do both well?



I play online and making my living from it, mainly MTTs (I play under the
handle AmirSF).

I don't think there is any cheating going on (at least for MTTs), and if
there is it has not impaired my ability to make a profit.

I'm convinced that online poker rooms are, by and large, on the level. If
they were not, the top professional poker players in the world would avoid
them like the plague. While there is legitimate reason to be concerned about
cheaters online, it would naive to think that it is not equally prevalent in
face-to-face games as well.

Richard Marcus, a former professional casino cheat, writes a great blog in
which he reports and analyzes the latest developments in cheating at poker
and other money games:

cash and tourney, although I suspect is due to the fact I don't spend a ton
of money there. I am not completely convinced that online poker is on the
level. Anyone else have this feeling?

very good cash game player, but for the las months (give or take a few
weeks) I have been playing only tournments (online and live), and have
become a very good tournment player (300 tournments w/ 105 money finishes,
w/ 20 final tables and 4 wins). But today I decided to play a ring (cash)
game online and relized I could no longer play cash games, to quote Matt
Damon from Rounders "if you can't spot the mark at the table within the 1st
5 minutes..... . you're the mark", to say I play like a donkey is an
understatement but I did make a lot of donkeys happy today.
