If you were to trade one Tollbooth for an influence-free option, what would you choose? I really want to fit a couple of Reversed Accounts in. For me they do so much working creating scoring windows in a glacier.

I think reversed accounts is terrible. GRNDL refinery is much better, and even it doesn't make the cut in this deck. But if you are set on it, don't you have to cut a piece of ice to make room anyway? Maybe a booth and a crisium.

I probably am doing it all wrong then (I'm not playing in a hyper competitive meta.) It seems I often run into cases where both the runner and I have a lot of credits. I can't score because the ice is basically in place, but they're sitting on a pile of credits, able to get through. GRNDL can bait the run, but if they don't bite, they're still ready to get through the next time.

All it takes is D4v1d and a clone chip and it's tough to create a window. Maybe I'm trying to score too aggressively?

Reason I like grndl even if the runner doesn't take the bait is it gives you enough creds to rez another tollbooth on the scoring remote. On the other hand with reversed accounts, sometimes you're both just broke.

If the runner is too rich I like to start IAAing NAPD contracts. If they're familiar with what this deck does, they'll realize that priority requisition is the top priority agenda to score or steal, so they can't ignore IAA plays. I'm happy to trade a NAPD away for a pri-req scoring window.

If runners play slowly and just build up piles of creds I try to play more aggressively. Use jackson to dig for OAIs to either force their hand or get a free ice. IA atlas behind 2 ice asap. Keep adonis running in the remote every turn you're not scoring out of it. Etc.
