All the time in the world

I'm finding it a bit strange that now, after essentially being forced to play cash games again (after having sworn off them "for life"), I'm rediscovering that they have some fantastic features I downplayed before. Let me enumerate:

1. no antes

2. no escalating blinds

3. no freeze-outs

4. all the time in the world

Time is your enemy in tournament poker, but in cash game poker, time can be your friend, if you're patient enough. In cash game poker, luck comes in and out like the tide. Although that's true in tournament poker as well, often you won't have the time to wait for the tide to come back in. In cash game poker, you always have the time. If you're willing to take small profits, you're virtually guaranteed to make a killing in the long run :-)
