Hello, some of you may not know me but I post quite regularly in the tournament section.

Anyways...after 6 years of tournament play I am embarking on the world of cash games.

So, in my opinion I am a decent post flop player. I understand the need to progress through the micro stakes to "learn the ropes" and I plan on doing that. I plan to play a very TAG and mostly straightforward game at the micros and see how it goes.

What I was hoping is if anyone here would point me in the direction of some useful threads in this section. I wish there were a few "star" threads in the sticky section.

Or, you can just give me your advice directly here but I'm not asking anybody to re-invent the wheel for me- I'm sure it's all been written down somewhere else... and I'm not afraid of doing my own homework.

In addition, you may find it helpful to know that I've read all of the strategy articles on cardschat, I've read about 25 poker books all relating to tournaments, and I am currently reading "Harrington on Cash Games" so my main concern is really in highlighting the difference between tournament and cash games.

see ya on the felt! ;)

Winning tournament strategy will translate very well to winning cash game strategy in lower stakes.

The big difference is because there is no ticking clock the meta game revolves more around tendency than situation.

The other big difference is that the main goal of a tournament is survival. The main goal of a cash game is to extract value. So you want to be implementing strategies that allow you to get people to put the most chips in the pot in spots where you will ultimately take it down.

So the first strategy is this: look for the players who are most likely to give up those chips! Then go from there.
