Default Another NL Tourney vs Cash Post

I realize all the cash vs tourney posts but I think this one has not been covered enough. I am talking about the "feel" between the two games. It seems that cash games feel the same to me as early tourney play. But this is not helping beat cash games.

Just for context, I play $20-$100 buyin MTTs and qualify occasionally for the bigger MTTs. In cash games, I am usually at the NL100 tables.

My stats in tourneys indicate I am a "bomb" which is semi-loose agg/agg. Just going over my play by the blinds, I find that I am tight pass/agg early and change to looser agg/agg and end at hyper aggressive. (I play SnGs the same way).

My stats for cash games are generally tight pass/agg. And this is my main concern. Usually, I will break even in cash games and I know I'm better than that.

So what we have here is a competent tourney player who can't make a positive winrate at the cash tables. I haven't given you enough info to help me specifically but I would appreciate generic advice for a player who is likely a little too tight. For example, I have trouble calling any re-raise unless I have the top four hands. And action on the flop usually drives me away unless I have TPTK or better or a really good draw. I seem to be okay if I get past the flop and especially heads up. My aggressiveness kicks in on the turn and river when I know where I stand.

When I buy in, it's for the max so I like to stay as deep as I can.

Any generic advice would be appreciated.
