Staying alive is great strategy if you have all the time to be patient, wait for cards, for a long run. If you know you don't have time to wait forever, playing more sub-optimal hands is reasonable, if you catch on a marginal hand, it can change your stack so you can adjust for a longer run.

First I try to survive until the awards stage and then I try to be a little more aggressive in the final stretch

Staying Alive is the very last thing I usually think about

I'm usually thinking Who am I gonna Kill next

The larger the prize, the more valuable the victory.
