its likely impossible to beat live tournies (after rake,tips, travel, and taxes). if ur a semi-cute chick you might be able to do it hustling great staking deals and getting sponsorships/invites (the model/player route) but really, at the end of the day, cash is where its at.
My understanding of following the tournament trail is that each has it's place. You go deep in a tournament and cash well-to-large; you go out of the tournament and play cash against locals and cash well-to-large. You partner up, share expenses and so forth.

Point me in the direction of these great staking deals plz and thanks
I make a higher hourly wage playing cash games. Since I have a day job and only a finite number of hours to play each week, I like to optimize my earning potential.
In addition, I have "committment issues". I hate having to try and "hold it in" until break.
Tournaments (live) are for fun mostly when the buyin is low enough and the structure not so turbo! Hard to often find that combo. I just prefer the long hours at the cash tables more fun, less stressfull and for me (a rec player) easier to win a little or lose just a little. Have much respect for the players who excel at both kinds of poker!
I may be one of the few, but I am really liking this season of High Stakes, much better, actually, than the last two. Vanessa Selbst says in a mini-interview during - I think episode 4, that she likes tournaments better than cash because there's "more to think about."
That really struck me, being I like both, but like trnys better, also. But I never thought about them as having "more to think about" - so my two questions ITT are: which do the women here prefer and why, and, do you agree/disagree with Vanessa and why?
I agree with Vanessa 100%.
My opinion
Cash games= plain boring
Tourneys= action
