What advices would you give to a cash game player?

I am Cash Game addict but I would like to start with tournaments, mainly online but also IRL.

So my question is: What advices would you give to a cash game player willing to start with tournaments?

My main concern is managing the different stages of tournaments.

Chips won is not equal to equity gained. So be smart and dont punt!
Betting one street and shutting down in most cases is the optimal strategy (differs field to field)
Bomb it like its hot when you have it! In certain situations opening any two cards late in the game is printing money it will cost you some money to master but its mandatory skill to learn if you want to come to the top.
These tips are first that comes to mind. Good Luck!

Thank you for your tips bro. Will be hard to stop thinking fully on equity ahah

I think you would start in tournaments that identify you the most, there is no point in going to high limit tournaments to remedy that this is the illusion, first of all set up a bankroll for you in low limit tournaments and then get involved in tournaments. high limits!

You can try play one table SNG (o 18man-sng) at beginning.

If you are a long term winning cash game player you would have no problem winning in low stakes tournaments.

You main opponent is the big variance, not the other players (because they are in general much worse than cash players).

Study a little all-in ranges when short-stacked and you should be fine.

For how to play with different stack depths Jonathan Little has a lot of material free on YouTube and also some cheap books.

Or google: different stack depths tournament

You will get more material than you could read in a year.

The biggest chance you will see is later on when the stacks gets short. You really should read up on how to play tournament short stack play if you are seriously going to play tournament poker. GL to you.

Learn to have the patience of a monk and have a really big bankroll, especially in you are going to be playing in large fields. Cash game variance can be brutal sometimes, but large field tournaments are 10 times worse. They are basically and endless stream of losses interrupted by an occational big win, when you end in the top 3-5. In between you will have many smaller cashes, but these are not enough to pay for your buyins, so most of the time the bankroll is going south.

As others have said, you need to be a bit more conservative in tournaments to preserve your chips. However that does not apply, when you can put pressure on other players by going all in. So as stacks get short, tactics like re-jamming or even open jamming become very important. There is a huge difference between being the guy pushing, and the guy calling, and one of the biggest mistakes in general is calling to much, when it put your tournament live at risk.

Also there are antes in tournaments, so as stacks become short, blind stealing and other non showdown winnings become extremely important. When stacks are short, people tend to fold a lot to even small bets, much more than they do in cash games. So you want to use, what Daniel Negreanu called the "small ball" method. Lots of small open raises and C-bets, and you will see, that people just fold a ton, because they dont want to put in 20% of their stack just hoping you catch you bluffing or improve on some marginal draw.
