    I completely agree jd. There is a lot more skill involved in beating cash games. With tournaments, if you are not winning the races, you are not going to win a single tourney. You don't need this element of luck to become a winning cash game player. You can rely on your edge to pick a better spot.

    Look at the WSOP ME 2009 for example. I have complete respect for Joe Cada's game, I hear he is a beast when it comes to mid stakes HU cash games online, but the dude got lucky, twice I believe in the later stages of the tourney, when both times he hit a set after being all in pre flop against dominating hands.

    That's what irritates me with tournaments and why I have chosen to only play cash. The bias toward tournaments really shows in the article when you wrote "you know the maximum you can realistically win is 2-3 big blinds per hour". After reading that it made me think of Mike's quote in Rounders, if you can't spot the fish at the table within the first 30 minutes, then you are the fish. Good cash game players are winning a heck of a lot more then that.

    Uh, lol?

    Tournaments are a joke. You need to run hot to do well in them, nothing else. Tournaments are hardly even a skill game. Tournaments are only better than cash if you suck at poker.

    I've added another section: Saturday Tournaments (The Sabbath!) - [url=http://www.mosesbet.com/2010/02/04/saturday-tournaments-the-sabbath/]Saturday Tournaments (The Sabbath) | MTT Strategy Site[/url]

    May decide to edit a few things at a later point (having a slight theme change courtesy of tom) but enjoy it for now!

    I don't think there is a way to change your perma links without having to manually change all of your interlinking to match - but it'd still be worth it from an seo/user standpoint.

    Speaking of interlinking, you have several great opportunities to do so on this article. For example, #5 begins with "As I discussed in a previous article" ... where is that article? I'd like a link please :)

    It's a great article and you can easily come up with many more themed articles such as this. Good job!

    right, i can do that, but if i change the permalink structure now then all my inlinking will be wrong.
    is there a way to get around this? i plug in or something? or will i just have to manually change all my inlinks.

    Good point. I noticed that as well - I'd get rid of the date portion of the URLs

    I think its awesome - The MTT niche is very under developed and the content I've seen so far on this site is good and I too like the CTA there.

    One small thing though - Is there a reason you went with a URL format that has a date rather than a more search friendly format? To me that is more of a blog format, and I know form speaking with you this will be a larger static site so to speak.

    Absolutely not. Why would it be a level? It's a unique angle that breaks away from all the regurgitated crap you see everywhere. The advice is basic but I like the overall presentation and calls to action.

    Very good... like the call to action at the end too (hope this is geo-targetted). Reubens and Ciaffone actually beat you to the idea in their 'Pot-Limit and No-limit Poker' book but hey - yours is much more succinct!
