Do the best cash game players or the best tournament players average more profit on a daily or weekly basis?

[Bawse]

Cash game pros usually have steadier results and can grind consistent volume, while tournament players often deal with much bigger swings but have the potential for massive scores.

Do you think elite cash game grinders make more overall because of consistency, or do top MTT players come out ahead thanks to huge tournament payouts?

Personally, I think cash game players generally have the more reliable income stream, but top tournament crushers can have insane upside when they hit big runs.

I think the best cash game players usually make more consistent daily or weekly profit. That's because they can play steady volume with lower variance. Tournament players can have massive scores, but results are often swingier. I believe cash games generally provide more predictable income if the player has a strong edge.
