Tournament play vs Cash play

[X-Longshot-X]

I think tournaments are very important for any players game....i tend to do better in tournaments because i value my chips greatly.....many people fail to realize....that as the blinds go up the chips become more valuable.....this makes it easy to peck away at some players later in the tournies...in cash it doesnt change so its the same all the way through

Having now playes alot of NL tourneys and cash games, and have entured slightly into thelimit side of it (20k hands) the difference is huge.

In tourneys i take way more risks, figure out the table, what kind of players there are, and go from there. Cash games i try and sit back, play the big hands fast, and the occasional hammer loose too.

If i get to the WSOP this year, number 1 goal, TPs advice is pretty solid. Avoid races, big pots on the first day, accumulate slowly, get yourself onto day 5 as it is. then from there loosen up a tad, and hit the money. Pros wouldnt scare me one bit, we know how they play better than anyone else at the table. Unknown internet qualifiers would scare me more, they are far more agressive, unless your sat on the left of Ivey, but if i get there itll all depend on the table.

Speaking of this, can someone find me the blind structure and starting chips for this years WSOP?

I don't really agree with a lot of what you are writing there eej.... not sure where to start, really.

But I'll answer your question now and maybe get back to you on the rest. You can find all that info here:
