Poker is fascinating in that it generates so many differing opinions on the same subject.  Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, for instance, wrote an entry for Full Tilt's "Lessons from the Pros" series a couple of weeks ago about the "difference" between ring game play and tournament play.  He doesn't believe there is much of one.  He advises to simply play your best cards in either setting, with a couple of specific exceptions.

By the way, if anyone reading this has not checked out this series of essays by the Full Tilt pros, you're really missing out.  There's some great stuff there and new entries are emailed directly to Full Tilt players every two or three weeks.  They are also archived on their website, so you can catch up from the very first lesson.

For the most part, I agree with CJF that keeping it simple and just playing your game is a good approach.  The biggest difference I personally find between tourney play and ring play is that I'll play a lot tighter in the early stages of a tournament than I typically play at any time at a cash table.  In a tournament, my first priority is to survive to the final table.  At a ring game, my only priority is to take as much money away from my competitors as I possibly can, any way I can.
