Personally, I find tournaments tougher to navigate than cash games. In a cash game, you can come and go as you please, play loose or tight depending on how the cards run. But in a tournament, you're trapped at that table until you bust or make the final table. There's pressure to make moves, take risks, trying to build a stack against players seeing the exact same community cards.
Some hands you barely stay in, praying for an ace on the flop. Other times you have to go all-in with Jack-high, hoping your opponent's on a draw. Tournaments force you out of your comfort zone, make you play hands you normally wouldn't touch. One wrong move and you're out, watching the rest of the event from the rail. Cash games I can handle, but tournaments keep me on the edge of my seat! The swings are wider, and the stress rises with every chip pushed into the pot. Tourneys might be exciting, but they're surely not for the faint of heart.
