Cash game poker and tournament poker are quite different. Not only does cash game poker allow you to walk away with your winnings at any time, you may play with any skill level player that you want to. In tournament poker, games and tables are much more regulated.

I remember Jonathan Abdellatif about a year and a half ago playing the low stakes live games in the Belgian Casino de Namur — today, he’s an EPT superstar and soon to be WSOP-winner, I’m sure.
Jonathan has quickly moved into the spotlight of the European poker scene, playing a variety of games and limits (from [...]
I got yet another totally rubbish piece of poker talk in my mailbox… but I’m so ashamed that I’m putting it after the jump — hope you don’t mind.
Ever since seeing Chris Moneymaker win the ‘03 World Series of Poker a lot of relatively new and young poker players have been trying to make it as professional poker players. A lot of them have failed and PPP Poker explains to us to great extent what it takes to become a poker pro — [...]

Twice a month I sit down in the restaurant of the casino I usually play at with a friend I met at the blackjack tables and now plays in the same poker room on a regular basis to talk poker. We discuss our results and talk about key losing and winning hands and about how [...]
I ate a steak at the poker table today, and I wish I hadn’t. Let me tell you a painful story:
Walked in with about $2000 in my pocket, went straight for the 5/10 game, my favorite at the casino here. Started off playing aggressive, making button-raises, following through on the flop most of the time. [...]
I played 3 Multi-table-tournaments yesterday, simultaneously. I’ve been playing at Full Tilt Poker for a couple weeks now, mostly in the hopes of being able to do some games against the likes of Phil Ivey or Mike The Mouth Matusow — but enjoying the level of play there in general too…
