When online poker was still open to Americans, I played almost exclusively tournaments and SNGs. Cash games seemed so boring to me online compared to the tournament poker ESPN would show all the time.

When I first started playing live in Atlantic City, I began with $40 tournaments at the Atlantic City Hilton (the cheapest tournament in all of A.C.) . I was so completely clueless when I first began playing live that I thought a person needed thousands of dollars to sit at a live cash game in a casino. Now, when I play live, I play almost exclusively cash games. I am usually pretty tight and nitty, which is often not the best strategy for tournament poker.

I know Limit Hold 'Em has been killed by NLHE, but I still like playing LHE when it comes to cash games. I play NLHE cash a few times a year, but I don't really have the stomach for the swings of NLHE cash games.
