The poker nomad decides to move on (again)

Even though I have a lot of fun playing them, I've decided to stop playing sit and gos for now, and return to cash games. As I've said before, the easiest person to kid is yourself, and I was kidding myself that I could be content with my bankroll diminishing, or even with it being stagnant. For my own sense of poker self-worth, I need to see my bankroll always on the rise, over the long haul. For me, the only way to achieve that is through cash games. Here are the numbers, which (as you know) don't lie:

    sum        count     average      style
$7,538,793     1,345   $5,605.05    Cash game
$1,239,250       842   $1,471.79    Sit and Go
   $79,388       124     $640.23    MTT


On average, I make nearly 4 times as much money playing a session of cash as I do when I play a sit and go, and nearly 9 times as much money playing a session of cash as I do when I play an MTT. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - cash is king!
