Re: Main differences in play between cash and tourney games?
In general, low limit tourneys don't give you much play and you are forced to commit your whole stack with 1 hand. Therefore, it is correct to play very tight and try to get it all in with a PP or AK etc. In cash games, you can typically buy in for 200-300BB. This allows you to play much looser and have time to build an image. Playing suited connectors is much more powerful in cash games because you can call a raise with them (in position) and chase a draw if you have the right pot/implied odds to do so.
Also, in tourneys, there is much more pressure to build your stack. In cash games you can be much more relaxed and pick your spots.
