I beg to differ. There is a huge difference between cash games and tournaments. Especially in terms of gameplay.  You will often find yourself sitting at a cash table, with players who have a very big bankroll and can afford their losses, or with very new ones who simply got $ signs in their eyes. The rules of a tournament no longer apply. Unless it's a tournament with re-buy/re-entry, once you're out... you're out, but cash games offer the possibility of endless play, more frequent bluffs, regardless of whether you loose or not. Those on a loosing streak, will call you with practically anything simply as a matter of gamble, in an attempt to replenish their lost cash. Cash games boil down to luck mostly, whereas tournaments... you gotta play by the rules if you want (a chance at) a piece of the pie. I've seen a lot of players lately, mostly from Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden which played most of the time at live cash tables, and recently started with online poker. They mix the knowledge they gathered from cash games, with the online tournaments. Can't begin to count the suckouts i've had because of that. Needless to say, people who played mostly cash tables, have a lot more balls than those used mainly with tournaments, but in the end they rely more on luck than actual strategy.
