So I just cannot stay away from the excitement of tournaments. I usually play 4-6 of them early in the evening and then switch to cash games for new tables when I get down to 2 tables remaining. This way I can still come out positive for the night even if I do not make a final table in tournaments.
There are somethings to be careful with in mixing tourneys and cash games:
Good luck at the tables this week.
Tournaments have a fixed buy-in with increasing blinds and require surviving until the end to win a significant prize, whereas cash games allow players to buy in and cash out anytime, with static blinds.
Tournament play often requires more aggressive strategies to build a stack for deep runs, while cash games focus on steady accumulation and protection of your chips.
Mixing strategies can lead to mistakes such as playing too loose in cash games or too tight in tournaments, affecting overall profitability.
Tilt refers to emotional frustration or anger that negatively affects decision-making. In tournaments, bad beats can lead to tilt, risking your tournament life or leading to reckless cash game decisions.
