It's just variance.  $10 is not nearly enough of a bankroll to buffer for the inevitable possibility of suckouts.  Even if you play 100% "perfect" poker, statistically it is still likely to go bankrupt due to suckouts and coolers if you do not have a proper bankroll to buffer from these swings.

The recommended minimum for sit 'n go is to have 100 buy ins, so at $1.20 you should have a $120 bankroll.

On a $10 bankroll, you could try the .25 + .05 satellites to the daily double sit 'n gos at full tilt poker.  These are a good way to try to grind up a bankroll.  Just play it fairly nitty, and get it in when you're pretty sure you're way ahead.  When you win, just unregister from the tournament and you will get T$ back in your account, which you can use to register for more satellites.  Keep in mind, you are still not properly rolled with $10 even for this, but the competition is generally quite soft so 50 buy ins is probably somewhat reasonable.  Remember, you're gonna get sucked out on ALOT, but this is actually not a bad thing in the long run.  Given enough hands (and I'm talking like tens to hundreds of thousands) the odds will work out and if you are making correct decisions they will even out.

If you don't mind cash games, it is generally easier to grind up a roll from playing 2nl.  To be properly rolled for cash games, the common guideline is 20-25 buyins ($50 minimum roll for 2nl).
