    In a tournament you are forced to play (blinds increase), and more chips in play. With a cash game, you can be more selective and can add chips anytime, change your seat or table, leave at anytime, and even go on break or dinner when it suits you.

    Value of cards in tournament play change from each part of the event, whereas in cash, it only changes with position.

    Cashgame is perfect for when you want to play an hour or two. But it is two different strategies so not many people are really good at both!

    I play cashgame on my phone https://tinyurl.com/pokiomcc01
