I will slightly disagree with the members above. You need to stay tight in early position, and even tighter when facing an open. If it is folded to you in CO or Button, you can open up your range. But understand that the lower your stack, the more likely someone will call your shove. And under 10BB is shove or fold.
Once you are under 5BB, you will almost always get called. Wait for a hand to double up. This can be Ax, any pair, or even Broadways. From early position, AJ+, 77+, and suited broadways are sometimes good.
It gets frustrating waiting for a good hand once the cards go dead. Just keep watching the others get knocked out, and wait for playable cards. If you can win one set of blinds and antes each round, you can stay in the game forever.
