What is Cash Game?
A DFS contest (50/50, double-up, head-to-head) where roughly half the field wins.
Cash games pay a flat amount to the top ~50% of entries. You don't need a huge score — just one better than the median entrant — so construction favors high floors and safe, high-usage plays.
Rostering chalk is fine in cash; you only lose by being different and wrong.
