I think that patience is the only glaring difference. Aside from that, they are very similar. You want to notice their betting patterns, you want to notice their tendencies, and you want to take advantage. Some people have really clear tendencies in both cash games and tournaments. I’ve had a lot of success against GRIMSTARR on Full Tilt, and the reason is that he has certain patterns that he uses in cash games. If he bets a certain amount — I really shouldn’t be saying this, but I think he’s not going to be playing me anymore, anyway — if he bets a certain amount, and you raise him, he folds. And it’s not even like 80 percent of the time, it’s like 100 percent of the time. He bets X, you raise, he folds. And a lot of players do that without even noticing it. So, that’s another little thing for both sit-and-gos and cash games. It’s just poker, so there are similarities, but with escalating blinds it definitely changes the whole ballgame.

Btw..great job by the interviewer not asking Steve a single GD question about his heads-up matches with Aba.
