ten starting hands?

Yikes. That's waaaay too tight for ANY limit, and no 100NL isn't that hard.

Go to the full ring (or short handed forum) and read the 'digests' which should get you started. If I were you I'd start at lower stakes though...

FWIW you should be able to make $50/hr playing 9 tables of full-ring .5/1, but I highly doubt you will by playing only 99+/AQ+
