This is a very interesting point. I agree that in cash games you can sit and be more patient, play tighter preflop, use your superior post flop play, pick your spots, and in the long run come out on top
In tournaments theoretically it should be the same, but the 'longrun' might be a little longer since there are more variables - increased blinds force more action, thus you have to loosen up preflop, play more aggressively etc - if you arent getting quality starting hands you have to begin to play trash, blind steal and bluff - pot size and pot odds become less of an issue at times, since like you said, you can often committ yourself to a pot easily And also yes late in tournies it does often become two card poker, especially tournaments with vicious blind structures.. in these situations its aggression which pays off most, and a lot of luck is involved (coin flip and 60 40 situations need to be won)...notes arent as effective during the FT of a tourny....its pretty much straight aggression and an occassional flop decision

I think the main difference between tourney play and cash games can be boiled down to:
Tourneys: You can make a big mistake as long as your stack can handle it and quality short stack play can result in a come back. Tourneys are forgiving and you only lose what you put in. Cash Games: You can't make a big mistake at a cash game vs other players with significant stack sizes. If you come in with a bankroll of 1k and you're up for the night $5k after putting you're stack to the test and then you run into a huge hand that results in a crippling of your entire bankroll and winnings for the night you are going home broke.
