I am a big NL cash game player and I started to play NL tourneys. To say the least it very different to me and I would appreciate any help you can offer.
History:
Button hasn't been super active and has been giving up his blinds and hasn't been contesting pots. UTG+1 has been limping a ton and doesn't open raise unless he has something. He also does a lot of weird donk betting and over betting the pot.

Button hasn't really seen me play any hands of the sort. He probably came to the table 3-4 orbits ago. UTG+1 has been with the from the start of the tourney. I went on a huge rush of cards and showed down the goods in like 4 pots in a row. Since we haven't really squabbled much. I tried to pick up his limp calls a couple of times and he has bet i60nto me once or twice.
