No, you are playing to win. Do not play to get in the money, that's what everyone else does. Generally speaking, small tournaments have faster blinds and shallower stacks. This means you should be stealing a lot if you think the blinds will fold and finding other such ways to accumulate chips. You should still be playing tight poker, but be aggressive and be smart. Don't play scared. When it gets to the money bubble, take advantage of the fact that no one wants to bust without making money. This is very important.

Good luck!
I concur.
