If you are close to the bubble, the ideal is to play against mid-base stakes, not investing against those who have a lot of chips because they tend to call more. If I have up to 13bb, I just go all in or fold. More than that, it's still worth a mini rase.

I wait for good cards, at least those with which I will have at least some chance, and I go all-in. Nothing complicated, everything is quite banal and simple

If you have few chips, you don't need to throw them around, you need to wait for a strong hand or pair to go all-in and try to win twice as many chips and continue playing more carefully. If you have few chips and go into unnecessary hands, you will lose every time and end up being eliminated from the tournament

When the chips are low obviously we need to switch to push / fold mode
But with what kind of hands we can do so will absolutely depends upon your opponents at the table you are playing
We gotta adjust our shove range based on that
But Generally
With 10-15 bb
We gotta stick with AT + , QKs , KJs ,sometimes I even go for TJs , QTs , KTs based completely on table dynamics and opponents
As for pairs with 10-15 bb
It's 66+ for me
But it's adjustable based on situation
Some people would even go with 22 as well
With 5-7 bb
Any Ax , connectors , +22

Your tactical arsenal is significantly limited, your opponents understand this and will try to knock you out of the table as quickly as possible, viewing you as a victim. The lack of a supply of chips does not allow you to maneuver. Even if a very strong card comes to you, your opponent may go “all-in”, and you will not be able to adequately answer him. In addition, realizing that every attempt could be the last, many players with a small stack are psychologically unable to play as required by the basic strategy.If you have a small stack, you should play tight. You can't afford to waste your chips on unnecessarily risky bets.

There is still a lot of maneuverability at 10-15bb if you're prepared to fight. Please ignore the comments that just say "go all-in". It is a far too simplistic a tactic and will often be non-optimal and sometimes -ev depending on your exact stack size, the other players stack size and ICM implications.
One suggestion I would have would be to target the blinds from later positions, and more timid players when they are in the blinds.
Don't panic! Many tournaments have been won by players that had less that 10bb at some point.
