    Default What do you think has a higher hourly, Tournaments/SNG's or Cash games?

    Hi cash game here. I'm naturally biased towards cash games, in fact I'm so biased towards cash games that I got about $300+ in poker points I've accumulated from thousands of hours of cash games that I'm avert to using because I kinda disdain tournament structures, even though I think I could pick it up relatively easily with a penchant for playing in deep stacked cash games, shorter stacks and bigger blinds makes the thought process a bit easier. However I am bad at tournaments atm.

    My friend who is a professional cash game player, he makes regular withdrawals from Bovada to finance day-day life maintains that he doesn't really use his poker points either because he thinks his hourly from cash games is much higher than if he were to use those poker points for SNG's and Tournaments. In essence, to him, it's like taking a paycut.

    I think the variance might be higher in tournaments as well, a few times I busted out on the bubble getting sucked out on even though I had a marginally better hand when the money went in. I've never been particularly lucky when it comes to tournaments I think.

    It also kinda bugs me you know you play a tournament for like 3-4 hours and stop short of final table and only win a measly $25-$90 or even nothing at all.

    What do the tournament players on here think? And what would it take for a deep stack cash game player like me to learn tournaments and start a tourney bankroll off my unused poker points?
