why are you playing tournaments when there is so much more money in cash games?

if you managed to reach $2000NL you must be making a few hundred thousand dollars a year playing cash games.

even at $400NL playing 40 hours a week (2000hrs a year) with a winrate of 5BB/100hands and playing 400 hands an hour on average.
you will be making 4*2*5*4=$160 per hr.
and you'll be making 160*2000=$320,000 per year.

and since you play more hrs than this and you play higher stakes (and can presumably beat those stakes) you should be making $500k+ per year playing cash games online.
i probably should grind at 400nl but am interested in MTT's atm!

Update: playing a ton of tournies today and am not having good fortune despite winning one of the smaller tournies (where i won 17 out of 20 hands from 5 to 3 handed!). So i am probably down for the day so far. I am playing really good though,. my aim is to go out of every tournament via a bad beat or in a set up, which i have manage to achieve alot today. so i am happy, keep doing this and the results will come i am sure, i am coping at the moment with crashing out of tourny after tourny via poor fortune.

Fingers crossed for the rest of the day.

p.s. i think we clashed once on ur stratergy of playing very loose early in a rebuy tourny and trying to accumalate a huge stack. i prefered (and still do) the opposite strat of sitting tight and waiting for a hand to pick off someone employing ur stratergy. And yes, i dont like folding AK :P. which just got me knocked out of a 20 buck rebuy - although i dont think anyone can get away from it when he raises with kk on button late on with 20bb stacks and u have ak on the sb!
