The only option, I feel, if you are on a limited bankroll is to play tight and hope to pick off the gamblers after the rebuy period. I played this way for the first year and it worked well for me to a certain degree. I made a number of finals and overall made a small profit. However the key problem I found with playing tight is that you are frequently looking to double up when you find a hand and as a result you always run the risk of being knocked out, even if you have a good read of your opponent. I recall all to frequently being knocked out of tournments by two or three outers by somebody who had taken more risks and built up a bigger stack.
Re: building up a bankroll I would suggest you try doing this via the numerous soft internet games. I found playing a tight aggressive game very profitable (if somewhat boring) and this has provided me with the opportunity to quit work and play poker.

Playing with a low bankroll is rarely a good idea. You can't play a comp in fear. Also, it becomes blatantly obvious that you aren't planning many buy-ins, which in turn makes it easier for people to work out your cards.
Playing like a rock on your first several games isn't a bad strategy. I did it when I first started playing in Notts. Players took the mick and mocked my tight play, but I was just watching and learning. It costs money to lean the game in casino's (which is a lot different to home games) so learning as cheaply as possible is my advice.
Can u be successful playing ultra tight? If you're lucky I reckon. Sooner or later you get outdrawn. You might scrape on to some final tables, but I'd take 1 first rather than several 8ths.
