I've always played cash games as a preference - only playing tournaments when I need a break from poker...
My record on tournaments maybe slanted by the small number I play ( I have about a 60% ROI on MTTS- but I play about one a month so it doesn't count. I put down my success at these things at "not giving a dam" and being prepared to push... or just folding... (push or fold is a legitimate strategy).. Actually I do take on the odd blind attack against me but thats a different story..
I've always beefed about tournaments because - as a ring player - I know how long it takes to nail someones game - when your table switches every twenty hands or so.. and when blinds are changing the texture by the minute - you just don't have time... most moves you make get so close to busting you that pushing is often the only "move" you can make..the notion of adjust the size of your CB postflop to flop texture to get that extra 5% in ring is one thing - in tournaments its an absurd idea....
