Playing Poker by Daniel Negreanu : Cash-game, tournament skills differ
There’s plenty of discussion on Internet poker forums about the differences between tournament and cash-game players. The general consensus is that cash-game players are superior. And while I do believe there is some truth to that sentiment, it is important to recognize that the skills required for each format are vastly different.
