Re: Tournament to Cash game? What changes?
I'd define the difference like this.
In a tournament you hold AK, raise before the flop and the flop comes As 8s 7d. You bet and get called. In the vast majority of situations all you're looking for is how to best get the money in against a weaker Ace. Yes A7 might be beating you but you don't have time to find out.
In a cash game you hold AK, raise before the flop and the flop comes As 8s 7d. You bet and get called. Now you have to think about how your going to play the hand in light of the fact that you will be putting the vast majority of your stack in on the turn and river. Avoiding A7 becomes possible, simply extracting from AQ becomes more difficult.
All round you need to be much tighter, much more warey of traps and much more able to read your opponents. They'll be at the table for longer so you have more time to pick your players.
