I notice a lot of players online use a tournement type statagy in a cash game.
 
The following is an extreme example but it illustrates what i mean.
 
If in a cash game i had AA in the hole on the BB and the guy under the gun went all in for $300 (Assuming the Blinds were $1/$2) i'd fold - Simple.
 
You only have $2 invested and you risk losing all $200 (100 times you investment so far) to win $200. Let it go and use your skill to win in another pot.
 
Look at it this way, with any two under cards your opponant still has around a 1 in 10 chance of winning, double that with an under pair, it's far from a sure thing. Differant if you have a decent investment in the pot.
 
Remember Cash game theory is very differant from tourney theory, each has differant goals. The cash game goal is to make as much money as you can while putting as little of your money at risk as possible. Tourney theory is to AMASS all the chips in play, you NEED to put all your chips on the line to do that one way or another hense it being an acceptable risk.
