SIT N GO to CASH

I usualy play a lot of sit and gos and do ok, mainly to bump up my bankroll to play tornys which is where i shine and make most of my bigger wins. But sometimes it feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back in sit n go. Most sit and goes that people play on here are scary and i do really well and end up being chip leader until the blinds get big and then people just shove and suck out quite often, which puts all my hard work to waste. So i have started playing cash tables only low stakes at the moment, i did play high stakes about a year and a half ago and made around 2 thousand pounds in 2 days from a £20 bank roll, but then lost most of it through extreme bad luck and nasty beats in about a week. I learned a huge lesson in bankroll management  and varience at that time and havnt really been back since and thought i was invincible, it wasnt cos i played bad but i tried to win back what i had. Yes it hurt and put me off big time as i would do really well then hit a full house and lose everything ect. I play only cash games live and do really well out of it but online play to long and that was my problem. But i have now over the last couple of days gone back to cash tables. I must say im making more profit and making about 18 pound per session and only starting with a £2 buy in on - dont laugh the 2p-4p blind tables. Its amazing how the play is so different and see so many people buying in with about £1.50 and shoving with any 2 cards to make a quick double up which ends up doubleing up me. Its like shooting fish in a barrell lol. I maybee premature but am going to stick with it for a while and see how it goes. Not only that the leugue points bump up much quicker and you get your bonus money. I around 470 points just playing sit n goes last month and got nothing even though i won a ton of games no fair i say. Anyways id like to hear about anyone else who have changed to cash tables from sit n goes and see how you find it in comparison.

    HI DAZ---Blackfish made the change--see if he will answer--personally I think you have to have the discipline to do a runner when you got around 3 x the buy in, especially when a few others on that table have a big stash, because sooner or later you will have to put your whole stack in the middle and hope to floppery--lol

    yea my thinking also although i try to get 4-5 times my buy in and then im off faster than a fly on speed.
    Been working so far and really enjoying the game more. Went and did a couple of sit and goes and got sucked out on with stupid people calling and hitting runner runner after i push. No worries with the cash i can take my time blinds are always the same. Sit and go Flopwit stupid!!!  :) although i cant stop playing cash its always one more hand, pleeeease make me stop pleeeease i cant stop one more circuit ohhhhhh my eyeballls!!!

    iv done the same dazler, i think the cash games show a much better player tbh, the tournaments in my mind seem a bit of pot luck because when the blinds get high and you have to shove, people are doing it on stupid cards and hope they get lucky, with cash games you take your time and pick the hands you want to go on, much better overall i fink, just got to make sure you leave when your ahead and not keep playing.  Good Luck.
