Hello everyone. I just played a smal SNG tournament with 30 players, $5 buy-in. I usually play very tight in the beginning and only play in position and only playing premium hands, but what do you do if you are only dealt crappy starting hands all the time? How would you guys play a tournament like that?

hi mhedegaard,
welcome to our forums! there are plenty of articles dealing with the different stages of SNG and tournament play in our strategy section, including early play until push-fold stages of the tournament. look in here and check out those under SNG or MTT.

i am not a tournament expert, but i would guess that if you are dealt only crappy hands at the beginning of the tournament, then you simply fold them.
btw, i noticed that you are still basic status. have you done the quiz yet?
let me know if i can help.

Pretty much this. Don't let Wendy fool you either, she's well capable of pwning tournament play 
Alternatively, I would suggest keeping an eye on the players to your direct left. If they are folding a lot of hands, then maybe you can try steal their blinds when the blinds start increasing. Nice TAG play is always good.
Best wishes,
Gary
