Is an Ultra Competitive Nature Counterproductive for a Poker Player?

[Nikita]

I agree with what you are saying.

What I was trying to say, is in cash games, there is no first place. People come and go and play as short or as long as they like. Whereas in tournaments, you are trying to outlast everyone else. Your only goal is to come in first; to win.

I think that's why I like tournaments more. They appeal to my competitive nature. Where in cash games, I don't really get the feeling like I'm trying to outlast all the others, I'm just trying to come away with more money than I sat down with.
