I think thats much more important in MTT than in cash games as a good patient player can grind out a profit playing ABC poker. A patient MTT player will sooner or later find themselves in short stack situations and its picking those moments which make or break tournaments.
This is, IMO, a very pertinent point made by Mr V. Your strategy in an STT/MTT must, if you are to be a consistent winner, be spot on.
In a 10 player cash game, most players will play the same cards in the same way in the same position. (before I get jumped on for that statement, of course you vary your play on occasion).
In a tournament, the decision on what to do will change potentially from hand to hand.
