    So I started grinding the 6.50$ 45man sit n gos on PS and did pretty good. Obv I was on a little heater, but I think I had an edge in the endgame and played a good push/fold game.

    After looking through some hand histories I wondered if there is any strategy for the early/midgame, with blinds <100 and no antes.

    I didnt really knew what to do with hands like A10/AJ off in mid/mid-late position facing a raise before me (with no reads) or what to do with hands like 99 - JJ early position within the first 2 blindlevels. if i bet 4big blinds I always end up getting 2-4 callers, 1 overcard, contibet and gave up on the turn after 1-2callers of my c-bet. so i ended up folding them pre sometimes or baiscally just setmine expect i hit a 3 7 2-ish flop.

    So is there any general strategy guide or article?

    And if not, any suggestions from 45turbo grinders on this particular situations?

    If you consider playing AT with 100bbs, you're doing something wrong.

    well not a 45 man grinder but i know you get to push fold quick, so I think you gotta play ABC poker early. AJ, A10 in late to mid position are most always folds after someone raises in the micros. riase your big hands 99-JJ etc in early position and maybe be a little easier Cbetting OOP. also maybe mix in some limps with speculative hands even set mine more. but who knows, i'm high as a kite.

     I've played close to 2000 of these including 12s and 6.50s with solid results.  Super tight early.  I wouldn't be c-betting into more than one opponent with an overcard on the flop.  I also think minraising or tripling it pre works better than 4x.  If you get a lot of callers, look for the set and get paid off big.  Once blinds get up, its mainly push fold. If you don't get called a donk every once in awhile, youre probably pushing too tight.  Abuse the bubble if you have a stack.  Try to preserve your FE, remember, it's not about getting it in good its about getting people to fold/running good when they don't.  I hope that made sense, I might post more later.
