In order to be profitable in cash games you need to do well in the long run, i.e. across 50,000+ hands. There's no point in playing above your limit in a cash game, because you'll lose your money eventually when you run bad. If you play long enough, you'll run bad for WEEKS.

I think you highly underestimate just how profitable cash games can be. The variance is so low compared to tournaments. Sure if you're not a great player, then sng's or tournaments are probably better for you because of its systematic style, and if you're a losing player well you will lose your money slower. But if you're a great player, there's no reason not to be only doing cash games, you get a much higher hourly and learn a lot more. i mean if you're interested in icm and bubble theory shit then by all means go play tourneys but god damn, tourneys are just absolutely retarded. Maybe if you mass-table sunday tourneys and you have a great roi over a large sample. but seriously, 100r on stars is really drying up and sustainable roi's are getting lower in that tourney. games are getting tougher, including the cash games but you can ALWAYS table and seat select in cash games.
