Well getting better cards would be a start.

I believe in the "play alot of draw hands" at a loose/passive cash game, but I don't know how that can work out for you in a tournament where you're trying to preserve your stack. Why not sit for a strong hand and make the suckers pay when you get it?

I'm not a tourney expert like some on this site, but I don't see how you take advantage of your playing skill by becoming more like the table.
