Default Folding too much?

Hi,

I'm not sure exactly how put this. But I've been wondering if I fold some potentially winning hands a bit too often.

The majority of the time I'm playing a conservative style of NL. This style works for me and wins for me. Though I've noticed that for this to work I generally need to see 19%-23% of flops during the first 3/4 of the the tournament. Since I'm playing good cards, if I'm running card dead and only really seeing 10% of flops, then the blinds are all over me during the tournament, and I get into push/fold mode faster than I'd like due to my low 'M'.

So, I'm wondering what other conservative styled players do if they get into this mode. Is it simply a matter of having to take a medicore or less than medicore hand and run with it, since better cards are not coming?

Thanks,
Lou!
