Good luck on your quest.

With SSS you will have no problem to grind up to $300.
On the low limits (up to NL100) the players are so bad playing vs. short stacks, that is just to east to get there money.

Best wishes,

A little comment:

On NL10 I thing your VPIP and PFR must be closer. There is no need to complete on the SB or call small bets on BB (I hope you are not calling on other positions) Complete from SB only pocket pairs and suited aces for now.
There is a lot more value in betting when you have a big hand. There is to much fish to call you.

hi kukkiwonBG, and thanks for your feedback. You are absolutely right, i've completed SB a lot of times with connectors when there were 2+ limpers, and i'm not supposed to do that.. i mean, i won't be doing that anymore.

here's my position chart so you can see that u were right hehe

Still in EP, MP, LP you have different VPIP and PFR.
In EP you have 4.1% and AK, JJ+ are 3%
In MP you have 6.4% and AQ+, 99+, with even AJs are 5.4%
This is maybe only variance, but still can help you.

Steal more from the button and less from CO. You need more fold equity to steal f/ CO and on NL10 they don't fold very often.

I understand that you have a lot of post flop experience, but with short stack you have less post flop freedom and for really advanced moves you must wait imo to limits like NL100+ at least.

On NL200+ you may have VPIP and PFR more than 12% and making a lot of steal and resteal, isolation moves and squeezes, but on NL10 only with basic SSS you can kill the game.

Best regards,
kukkiwonBG

P.S. Let me know if you have any more question and I will answer gladly.

One more thing.

When you are ex NL100 player you can easily include:
AQs from UTG+2
AJs from HJ
Stealing with any suited ace and 22-66 from LP and stealing with A9-ATo, A2-A5o from BU first in.

i really think that this is nice bankroll booster, don't u?

8 hours of grinding, and this is the result

and this is final hand of heads-up.. also interesting

so i was left with 120k, and grinded it out to 200k, went allin with A7o against button raiser with 66 ( i was SB )

that's all .. 3 cashes in 3 days lol

after 3 days of tournaments, i've decided to go back to my main game, 6max NL..
