Poker tournaments are also profitable because they draw
Poker tournaments are also profitable because they draw a huge number of relatively inexperienced players. If you are playing a high-stakes cash game, usually there are one or two weak players at the table. In a high-stakes tournament, there could easily be five or six weak players at every table. Amateur players are considered weak, but so are some professionals. Most cash-game players only know how to play with deep stacks. They lose a lot of equity in the late stages of a tournament by failing to go all-in optimally. Online tournament players usually are bad at playing deep-stacked because online tournaments are primarily an all-in pre-flop game. Most lose a lot of equity early in a tournament because they don’t know how to play deep-stacked.
