Now I am doing extremely well on $10 SnGs... pretty much killing them. My tournament play has grown SOO much, and I actually understand what I thought were just "cliches" about playing the player, stack sizes, pulling "rippys" etc.
Whenver I play ring games tho I get my ass kicked. Oh well, I've had a lost more fun playing tournies lately anyways... But I'd still like to figure out how I've gotten so bad at them...
Simple. Winning tournements and winning ring games require different playing tactics. Theses differences are seemingly minute yet these small differneces mean that if someone plays exactly like they do when they play tournements as they do in the ring game then they will lose and vice versa. Winning poker requires intuitive feel for certain situations. When you play one form of poker alot you get a good intuitive feel for that game but that intuition will lead you astray in another game.
