You need a completely different mindset to play MTTs, especially when it comes to variance. When you play cash you get used to the mindset of success being smaller, more frequent wins. But in MTTs success comes from much less frequent, bigger wins. So you have to get used to accepting long stretches of bustouts with the goal of eventually running deep and scoring big.
This is a big reason why players who transition from cash to MTTs (and even those who never play cash) get stuck in a pattern of playing more cautiously to accumulate min-cashes. It feels better emotionally and psychologically to win more frequently, even if the wins are small. Until you realize that the min-cashes aren't getting you anywhere in the big picture and you have to shift to a play-for-the-win mindset.
