These are just some of my strategies for NL10 that I want to share with you all based on my experience with this limit.

First of all you have to realize when playing NL10, you can't use every strategy NL1000 or NL5000 players are using and create the same winrate. Understand these are still the microstakes and the players here for the most part have 2 gigantic leaks we can exploit:

1) They don't bluff enough to make light calldowns profitable very often.

2) They don't fold enough when they have TPTK type hands. You can stack them very easily with 2p, 3 of a kind, straight/flushy type hands.

Rules of engagement for this limit I live by to make these exploits are:
1) Use better hand selection. Your #1 weapon against players who don't fold often enough but will still bring a lot of decent hands to the table is SELECT BETTER HOLE CARDS.
2) Bet your value hands very well. Each situation is different. But a fairly straightforward approach to betting at this limit will not be exploitable because they will continue to not fold their hands even when they are clearly beat a lot of the time.
3) Use your HUD and play your position well. Don't automatically 3bet AQo from the BU when there's a raise from a very nitty player UTG.
4) Be cautious with your own TPTK type hands especially when facing a raise. Remember they don't bluff often enough to make these calls profitable. If the raise is big enough, fold it, and move on to the next hand. It usually means they have you beat.

I use this very simple and straightforward approach to this limit and I find it's not hard to play in even with the clusterfuck of TAG's and NITS currently polluting our tables.

What HUD level do you use?
I can't possibly imagine that someone would find the Platinum level ($500 per year) cost-effective. Even the Black at $200 / yr seems ludicrous. Even the silver card at $55 / yr seems worthless — who the heck needs to pay for emojis?
Extra disconnect protection? The fact that the site is mobile-based would seem to demand that disconnect protection would be built in.

I'm glad to hear that you're doing well on the site, I play there in the evening when I'm watching TV, but that's about it.

Thanks. I'm using Platinum VIP HUD. I find those 8 stats they provide to be extremely useful. The cost is not so great but I can assure you especially playing flash and MTTs where you're always facing unknowns, the HUD collects their career stats and provides it to you unlike Poker tracker 4 which doesn't provide any history except which you've played with them.

All of the other stuff provided in the VIP pack is meh. Is it worth the money? Most definitely even though it is pricey.. I suggest if you want to take it seriously try it for a month. When I started winning tournaments it pays for itself right? Tournaments I wouldn't have won if I was just eyeballing my opponents.

Another tip I'd like to include is deep stacks. Deep stacks at NL10 are extremely conservative once a lot of money goes into the pot. But they are prime bluff candidates and one of the few that can be bluffed with pure air for value. They tend to lean toward fold more often than call or raise. Their opening range is a lot wider but they fold too much on the turn and river.

Cheers!

Yup — I quite agree about deep stacks.
When you have 400BB they seem to think you must be good :coolface:

We had some crazy deep stack battles in NL40 FLASH tonight. Every second person seemed to have 200bb or more. Many with 3 or 400.. They were putting me to the test 3betting every time I put chips in. I had to make a couple of big laydowns but I finished the session up around $200. I eventually just nitted up and started punishing the loose 3 bettors by 4 betting them preflop with aces and kings.

At that level, and against that playing style I'll 4-Bet bluff after a fold or two. After the 4Bet bluff, I'll sit back and wait until I can 4Bet raise.

It's fun playing that deep.

Yes it is and today I was getting lucky because they kept reraising me preflop every time so I just kept showing them AA and KK lol
