i mean, this gets said all the time, and it's not really accurate. it's like taking someone that's a marathon runner, asking them to do hurdles, and then saying 'they suck at running cause they can't win at the hurdles'

cash and mtt's are just very very different animals. a lot of great mtt players would be break even players or losers at high stakes cash games...and vica versa

Good analogy, gags. But I think a higher percentage of the cash game players would be successful in making the transition to mtts than mtt'ers to cash. My guess is most cash game player just wouldn't wanna bother trying.

As an aside, Andrew Broukos is fucking sick in both cash and mtts. Just spends way more time playing cash.

More details plz on the backing = guaranteed money in the pocket, cuz this is the first I'm hearing about it. Snap call.

I don't think you normal people have any idea how much it costs to play tournys..

heres a little example... 5th of the month go play a 25 k buy in two weeks later play a 10 k buy in play a couple 5 ks play all 4 sunday cost 6 k a sunday theres like 80 k for one month in tourny buy ins do you know how rich u have to be to pay 50 k or more a month in tournys

op is a moron and sucks at poker

and im on tilt cuse i just got 3rd in 150 r DFDFDFDFDFDFDFWDW

quite possibly the worst thread of all time

woah woah woah big guy. I'm backed and believe me if i only made 30k a year I most certainly wouldn't keep doing whatever it is that is that I'm doing. My personal expenses in 2009 were over 30k alone. I've also never had 6 figures in makeup. I think the people you are talking about are people who aren't that great playing in mtts they should definitely not be playing.

Also your reasoning for someone like myself getting backed is completely wrong. I steadily build my roll just fine being backed. I like being able to play everything I'm profitable in. My EV in WSOP for example is ridic high, but variance is also ridic high. I couldn't afford to play all the wsops on my own as taking a 75k+ hit to my br would be quite a bit to lose. What I don't like is the risk of going broke.

fwiw believer, no offense to you or anything, obv think you're great but OP will almost certainly beat u in cash.

I'v played thousands of hours of cash .. almost as much as tournys all the way up to 100-200 limit and 25-50 nl and im not a loser in cash games. but I guess you know all about my cash game skillzs altho I don't know how.

I don't think anyone can be considered good at poker if they can't beat all forms of poker

You're an idiot, and I am not defending his post nor care about it, but hes a big winner in mid stakes cash games.

You are wrong sir. OP is one sick mid stakes cash game player. Pokertableratings has him over 400k profit on stars alone.

you should never assume tho.. I am one of the sickest players in the world at reading peoples hands esp live I can not amagine ever being able to not beat any cash game all the cash games iv played at the 10-20 level and 25-50 r not tough at all for me online i havent played in years really cuse of being staked for tournys.

Hahaha, its fun to read the first replies of the thread now, people making fun of OP without knowing that he is a complete baller.
