Differences Between Poker Cash Games and SNG Poker Tournaments

A normal cash game is played for a pot, while a poker tournament is played for a prize pool. Generally poker cash games are played with few players, on a single table. On the other hand a poker tournament is played by multiple players on multiple tables. Poker cash games commence or begin, when the dealer deals the cards, after all players put in their bets into the pot. SNG poker tournaments start when all players fill the SNG poker table. Major differences between these two games lies in starting hands, especially suiting connectors. In poker tournaments low pairs and suite connectors have low values, and they are meant to open up in further stages. Though cash games are good for playing, poker tournaments are really exciting. SNG poker tournaments are worth playing because players can directly play the showdown without thinking of previous stages. However, players can think individually practice both of them and choose best among them.
