Default Re: Tournament to Cash game? What changes?

[ QUOTE ]
Any suggestions on what changes I should be making for going from tournaments to cash games?

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably the biggest general difference is that the range of long-term viable strategies is somewhat smaller in cash games than in tournaments.

Some people approach tourneys with a really loose-aggressive style from the start in an attempt to either build a stack quickly or bust out. Others play fairly tight until they start to approach the bubble.

If you're one of the rare tight players, then it will be a fairly straightforward change: just play as if you're in the opening rounds.

However, if you're one of the more common LAG players, then you'll probably need to tighten up your starting hand requirements quite a bit or you'll be bleeding money over the long run unless you're very good at reading your opponents.
