Cash games and tournaments are really 2 completely different beasts.  Both have their pros and cons.  I learned poker playing cash games with friends/co-workers after work.  They can help with a lot of the fundamentals of the game and you can start/stop whenever you like.  However, there is no real end goal and it's rare to win a lot of money even on a great night.  Tournaments, on the other hand, require you to set aside a certain amount of time and the rising blinds force you to play hands in order to maintain a healthy stack.  After the early levels, very few stacks are still deep.  So, play becomes a lot more wild, with crazy swings in chip counts.  However, there is also the potential of a much bigger payout (relative to your buy-in) than a cash game.  Play whatever works for you.  I have become mostly a tournament player because I only get out to the casino a handful of times a year and I'd rather go for a big score than just a few hundred $$$.  Cash games work better at social gatherings where you don't need to set aside several hours.
