As someone who has recently switched over from tourney to cash game play in the past 3-4 months I was not quite prepared for the differences in the 2 games. I would read posts on forums about people folding AA post flop and I couldnt believe it. The fact that stacks are so much deeper in cash games changes the value of hands dramatically since when you put your stack in, 90 percent of it will usually go in postflop. In tournaments you can wait for premium hands, raise, and get shoved on by much worse because of escalating blinds and shortstack sizes that are forced to gamble. In cash games they will see right through this, because if you are only playing big pairs and big aces, players will be able to narrow your hand range very accurately to the point where you will be winning small pots and losing big ones, calling your raises with small-medium pocket pairs and suited connectors. The fact that stacks are deeper allows you to play these kinds of hands in certain situations, much like you might elect to do in the early stages of a tourney for cheap to hit a lucky flop and double up.
