I think it's harder to win in a ring game because there is the element of being able to reach back in your pocket and get more money. That makes people take more risks, etc. as they're searching for that big score. Your variance therefore tends to go way up. In a tourney, since you don't have that factor, your opponents are likely playing a much more solid game.
