i started tourneys, went to cash, and am trying to go back to tourneys.

And boy do they feel like different worlds.  whenever i switch from one to the other I do poorly for a while.

people have a bomb strapped to their backs playing in tourneys, they have to chip up or the blinds will kill them.  so, in the later stages, it becomes loose madness.  early on it is still looser because early leads steamroll ahead to big stacks that help later, and you get fish that think A6o is the best hand ever to go allin preflop with.

Whereas with cash games, you have all the time in the world to wait to play with the hand you want to play with. granted anyone half awake will realize that if you haven't played the last 70 hands you probably are waiting for something scary and will wisely just fold on you.

if you play like one in the other, you get slaughtered.  thin MTT, the blinds will eat you alive if you wait for a good enough hand, so you can't usually get too deep into it without learning to loosen as you go.  in cash, you can't expect an AK preflop allin to do anything good for you like it will a good ways in a tournament, especially since you will likely get called by AA or KK.
