Hello everyone,

I haven't been played poker in a while, but within the past couple of months I have gotten back into it. I was playing mainly play money cash games, but realized that those types of games of course don't accurately simulate the playing habits of people in a real money game. When I was playing playmoney games I found I was being successful in sng's situations, coming in 3rd 2nd and even 1st on occasion, however when I began playing with real money I took up to investing it in the cash games.

My simple question is, as a decent poker player trying to make some consistent wins ( like everybody else), what is a more profitable game for me to be playing. Am I wasting my time with these fixed limit cash games? I was reading various articles on this topic, and the average consensus was that cash games were better because you can always buy in and the blinds remain consistent, but when I consider some of the low limits I play .25-.50 or lower (possibly .50-1.00), I'm just not certain about there being big gains. Perhaps, I just need to be more patient. I was able to turn 25$ into 70$ (I know that is not a lot, but if this consistently happens I would be happy).

With SNG's I know that you buy in and that is that, if you don't come in 3rd or 12th (as some games are) you won't make any gains, so in that regard Cash games seem to be the way to go. I humbly invite your various opinions on this matter. What games are you finding to be profitable for your bankroll. If I am a descent tourney player should I consider that type of game instead of ring games. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

Your fellow grinder
