I know that sometimes playing straightforward makes you predictable but I have found (through trial and MANY error ) that I make the most money if I sacrifice many of my most aggressive finesse plays and become meeker.
Small buy in online tournaments aren't a test of your best poker abilities; they're primarily a test of survival.
On the other hand cashing just doesn't do it for me (or for any of you I assume) and honestly good cards just don't come around that often so some level of trickery/thievery/imaginative play must be done.
How, however, do you get by the thinking that if the tricky play goes south you could be facing moving all in as the only viable option. In online tourneys there just doesn't seem to be enough chips to make these plays worth it (unless they work).
