I think that your game will move on and improve when you start playing cash games, especially post-flop play, but as others have said they are different.
+1+1
Tournaments is all about pre flop game. Cash - post flop.
playing cash games?
Do you think it's possible to be a better tournament player without playing in cash games?
(I dont have time to learn to play both well )
any idiots with 2 cards can win tournaments.

What is considered a deep stack tournament?Deep stack tournament strategy has more similarity to cash game play, so if you're talking about "normal" online tournament stacks, the differences can be quite pronounced. However, it's an exaggeration to say cash and MTT are "completely" different. For example, you'll become more profitable in both by improving your ability to assess your opponents' styles and tendencies, and to adjust your play accordingly when suitable occasions arise.
Why would anyone want to steal blinds in a cash game?I think the biggest difference between cash games and tournaments is that in tournaments you have to take risks by stealing blinds that you would never take in cash games. Also, people respect your raises less in tournaments too though, so it becomes a pretty sticky situation. I think that cash games are better overall, because it gives the donks less advantage, so i would go ahead and learn the game first before busting into tournaments
I think it depends on the structure of the tournament.Yeah...absolutely no skill involved in tournament poker whatsoever
Very first night I played online, very first game I entered - - took down 2nd place of ~900+ runners. (although it was the 'Fergadonk on FTP'.. $1 buyin... but the $114 cash from a $1 buyin had me hooked, lol).Yeah...absolutely no skill involved in tournament poker whatsoever

I think that is deep enough.

longer run tournaments where everyone has a deep stack and slow moving blinds require some skill whereas coin flip tournaments (trying to finish the tournament as fast as possible with rapidly increasing blinds) requires less skill.
LMAO, you obviously either don't play cash games or are an ATM.Why would anyone want to steal blinds in a cash game?
