I think you have hit the nail on the head here. You are trying to play sensible solid poker and all around you have no idea. I am going through that at the moment.

In the small tourneys, once the all in and stupid bluffers get kicked out you find your play is working. The danger is that to get the same quality you have to move up to higher stakes in the cash games. So you are going to need to get your balance up first and then as suggested be prepared to play cash at a higher level.
