Default Ultra-conservative in the Small Blind

Yahoo.

It's time for me to start playing some 5/10 6-max. (Thanks, Evan and Blair.)

I plan on having no idea how to play in the blinds.

So...until I figure out how to play this game, I plan on playing virtually nothing when HU in the SB against the BB.

What is "virtually nothing"?

Please keep in mind that I am NOT looking for an optimal HU-in-the-SB starting strategy. I'm looking for a way to make my small blind play really fricking easy until I learn the basics of this game.

Here's what I have so far:

I plan on raising or folding in the small blind. I'm getting 3:1 to play. So I shouldn't be playing fewer than 25% of hands. But SB has crappy position. So I'll just play the top 20% of hands because I'm being ultra-tight and choosing to take a small loss in the small blind right now. There are 169 unique hands. If I play only the top 20%, my postflop play should be easy and my losses from the SB shouldn't be staggering.

So, the Top 20% (34 unique hands)

AA-55 (10 hands)
AKs-A8s (6 hands)
AK-A9 (5 hands)
KQs-K9s (4 hands)
KQ-KT (3 hands)
QJs-Q9s (3 hands)
QJ (1 hand)
JTs (1 hand)
JT (1 hand)

Is this too tight even for a rank newbie?
