I am very much a ring game player and found the transition to tourney life kind of difficult at first.  With ring games, it's easy to sit back and wait for the action to come to you.  Picking your spots to blind steal, and generally just waiting for quality hands.

With tourneys, you don't always get that option, and sometimes you have to force the action.

The fundamentals are still the same though.  Get a read on your opponent(s), and make well timed moves.  I've found that being able to easily switch gears is much more important in a tourney than a ring game.

Personally, I play in at least 2 15-20 person home sit-n-gos per week (thursday night), plus whatever other days I decide to find a game.  Played 6 live sit-n-gos last week, won one, cashed in two others.  I try and basically break even in the tourneys, and make money in my ring games.  Partly because I use one of my thursday games as a playground to test out new styles/gears, and partly because it's just a bunch of friends so I don't really care that much.
