So I've been playing mostly $5 SnG's for the past few months, with up and down results that sort of ended in the past week or so with me going on my worst losing streak since I started playing SnG's consistently, culminating in about 18 or so straight losses that has basically wiped out my Full Tilt account.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, as I was fully prepared to just reload, but then the economy reared it's ugly head and I lost my job, so until I get a steady income again I'm not going to deposit anymore money into the game.

So what I'm left with is just what's in my account. $9.88 and one $26 satellite token. So, being that this is what I have at my disposal, and I don't know how long it's going to be before I'll be able to inject some more money into poker, I'd like to try and see where I can take this 10 bucks.

But I'd like some advice on how to start this. Proper bankroll management hasn't exactly been on my mind up to this point, as I've just been doing $5 SnG's because I can afford to. My last $50 lasted me a few months before the huge losing streak kicked in, and up until the layoff I've had the money to just deposit another $50 if I lost the first one.

So, with only $10 to my poker name, where should I begin? My guess is the 0.01/0.02 microlimit cash games. Should I go fully rolled at 2 bucks for the buy in, or should I buy in for the minimum since I have such a small roll?

Another piece of advice I'd like is to know how I should play this. Everybody seems to advocate tight aggressive play, but considering that I've only got 10 bucks to work with, is this the best way to go about it? I know it's standard advice not to play with scared money, but if I call a big bet on a draw that I'm only likely to win 20% of the time simply because I'm getting the right pot odds I'm likely to lose my $10 pretty quick. It doesn't seem to me like there's much long-term to ten bucks. Am I wrong here? I understand the whole concept of long-term thinking, but it doesn't seem to apply to my situation right now.

Beyond this, is there any general advice I should follow when dealing with microlimit games? Should I treat them exactly like I should treat higher limit games? Personally I think they're completely different. It seems like, in general, hand reading skills go straight out the window most of the time. Everyone calls with any two cards no matter how much you bet pre-flop, and post-flop people will call with any pair, or even an overcard. With this many calling stations it seems like it would be easy to make money, and maybe it is, but I'm totally unprepared for it. I played for a few hours tonight and I'd constantly see people calling huge all-in bets with nothing but a gutshot straight draw, when the odds were clearly not there for them. How do you take advantage of this? Is this pretty much just about camping for the nuts? Should my range of playable hands be extremely small, or should it be pretty broad?

If I'm in late position, but I've got 5 people coming in behind me, as is pretty normal in micro games, should I avoid playing at all costs unless I have aces, or should I look to limp with hands like Ace-rag as long as they're suited?

I'm in no way claiming to know a lot about what I'm talking about. I'm just barely above total n00b level, I think, so if I'm way off base with some of my assumptions, please set me straight. I'm looking to learn, but I'm also looking to earn. Hopefully I can make something of my $10.
