The biggest tip I have for people when switching from Tourney to Cash games is to play less hands. Because you are shorter stacked much of the time late in a tournament, the push and pray mentality comes in when you see someone in front of you that is likely to fold because you need to steal blinds sometimes to stay alive, it doesn't always matter what the cards are.

In cash games, you have more of an option of playing what you want. You regularly see people who are playing 35+% of their hands and they are just bleeding chips because they are playing way too many hands, so if you are playing anything below 20% of your hands, you can be doing a lot better. Get rid of your Arag off and your face card with low suited card...it isn't going to help you in the long run. Play your good cards aggressively and get rid of the crap ones. Obviously, depending on who's at your table, you might want to push some of those cards in certain situations, but don't make it a habit.(example: you're on the BTN and the SB and BB have VPIP's of 10-15%, you should be raising with any two cards when it's folded around to you, because they will fold their blinds the majority of the time.
