Also look for the really loose tables (high % players seeing the flop). You'll have more opportunities to dominate another hand and you'll be more likely to get action on your monster hands.

Why not just play at lower limits and build up from there at first?

You should start at the lower limits and build up. You should have at least 20 buy-ins at the level you're playing at to withstand the bankroll swings. Don't move up until you have 20 buy-ins at the next level. I personally need 30 buy-ins so I can play comfortably.

Even at the lower limits, you can look for the loosest tables. A high percentage of players seeing the flop implies a loose table. In contrast, a low percentage of players seeing the flop (e.g. 15%) implies a table of tight players (maybe tight-aggressives). It would be tough to win at a table of TAs as a tight player.

I realize that the 10NL tables are loose to begin with, but it's good to start practicing table selection. High average pot size is another stat. to look at.

AA-22, Aks-AJs, AK, AQ, KQs

These are my only profitable hands at $25NL. For a while these were the only ones I played and I have a 20PTBB/100 winrate at that level. I loosened up with broadway and suited connectors later, but they hardly made a difference (about 8% of profit combined), and introduced more variance. I've asked other players to post their SC and broadway stats, those that have show nothing great with these hands.

Don't forget to keep raising with hands like AQs even though you've only got 10 buyins.
