ok so i guess my opinion is a little different from Texas72's

in fact, you should actually be more tight in ring games.
(although i'm not the best person to give you this tip! :S)

ring games you need patience to wait for a hand, and if you play the odds well, you will profit in the long run.
slight changes will be required depending on the table, in an ordinary table (where you will find loose players) it's good to be tight,
but if your table is full of super tight players you may be a bit more aggressive with a wider range of playing hands.

tournaments obviously differ in that the blinds rise, so it requires a change in your strategy as the levels go up.
at the beginning of the tourney, you require very conservative play. and as blinds rises, you should loosen up more.
your play will be affected by the relative size of your stack to the blinds, and the others' relative stack size to the blinds.

this is not the case with ring games.
