In response to whether I'm better at tourneys or cash games: I'd say I'm much better at cash games, and for a few reasons. 1) Patience: In a cash game I play for as long as I stay good and focused. If I'm losing my edge, I cash out and then get back in later when I'm fresh again. You can lose a lot of ground if you sit out very long in a tourney. 2) Reading players: My best skill is reading people and it's easier to read in cash games. You don't always get an honest read on people in tournaments because they don't play hands they normally would. An opponents play is generally more consistent in a cash game, where in a tourney they will be tight at times and loose at times based solely on their position in tourney. 3) Experience: I haven't played a lot of tourneys, except online, and I don't much enjoy the ring games I find online. There always seems to be one big stack who pushes others around. Maybe my perspective on that will change when I feel I've progressed enough to start making cash deposits and play more real money games. So far the only cash games I've played are with the small amounts I've won on freerolls.
On being a rock: I am a bit of a rock, although I'm starting to loosen up some. I still don't like playing bad hole cards and counting on the draw. This, to me, is just luck and would take the fun out of it for me. I do, however, take the odd stab at a pot if I'm in position, or if other players seem weak and easy to manipulate. And I sometimes play hands on feel or just to keep opponents from getting a read on me.
