You need to learn EV push if you wanna make $$ in MTTs. The play largely differs from cashgames, as the blinds are always increasing.
Having 10bb stack somewhere in the middle means you can pull of any fancy crap postflop, just stick it in with good hand and hope for the best. Overtime, youll win.

It's just tuff to attempt to finish in the money playing freerolls and low buyin games. You can play tight, have patience and play only the best of hands, but you need the cards to fall your way in order to fair well. These games are loaded with variables beyond one's ability to overcome without some luck.
