I think it is worth putting a little time into improving at tourneys if you're a cash game player since their is some money in them and getting random big scores is kind of nice.
tourneys is basically a bunch of 10-40bb poker ninehanded (u get lucky if ur playing a 6m tournament)
so the only real adjustments are ranges, and the value of tournament life and stealing blinds (knowing whos BB to raise etc)
not altogether hard to learn, but even the best MTT'ers will face variance that will make all cash players cry, because you're like "wtf i didnt want to spend 6 hours to only make 5x my invesment this is stupid dsajfhajkdef"
and i can vouch for randal, he is a good donkamenter.
