No. Although you can probably win at the micros that way, you have to bluff as you get higher and you'll never get anything paid off if you only play premium hands. As someone mentioned earlier in the HoH discussion, you can actually play looser in cash games, but you have to pay a lot of attention to pot size. In a tournament much of the time the stacks dictate that it's a good move to stack with TPTK. This is rarely the case in a cash game unless you're up against a maniac.

Controlling the pot size is extremely important in cash games, and the biggest difference between the two imo. Although I can practically only play TAG when I'm 12-tabling, when I play single tables much of the time I'll play a pretty successful LAG game but I got burned when I tried that in a tournament. It'd be raise preflop, get a caller, cbet the flop and villain shoves, and it's not a crazy overbet either. In a tournament, most of the hands you play when the blinds are big compared to the stacks you should be willing to commit most if not all of your stack in. In a cash game you are making a lot more plays preflop and postflop with air and it can be profitable against the right opponents.
