hi guys,What is the best strategy for superturbos with just 10 bb?This is the structure on this site im now playing.

I don't think this structure

I don't think this structure is very profitable (one that starts at 10bb).It would have to essentially be completely rake free.I imagine you're playing on Ipoker, so if you can effectively get 100% rakeback or very close to it (80%+) with bonuses, rewards, leaderboards, actual rb, etc. then it may be worth playing.As for strategy, using a push-fold strategy would be ideal here.I'd imagine a basic Nash adjusted strategy is probably best vs the average opponent.  Something like shoving nash sb (slightly wider if there's evidence they are tight) and if you notice them playing shove or fold themselves, probably defaulting to something a little tighter than Nash BB, but opening up if you believe they are shoving a range as wide as Nash sb (in which case you'd use the Nash BB chart as is).You'll probably get some guys that limp a lot preflop.  Stay aggressive postflop against these guys.  Leading OOP to steal with non showdown value hands in particular, on dry boards in particular, is probably ideal.  Think about their limping ranges and adjust your limp shove/limp raise ranges as such.  It'll always be really thin adjustments though, you'll see a hand or two at showdown and you'll have to draw some conclusions and adjust accordingly with so little real information, but that's how you maximize your edge in this structure.Let me know how it goes.

As I remember, Primo made a vid, playing old FullTilt STs with 300 chips stacks. It should be on site.And I'm agreed with Rypac, minimum rake is vital.

He also made one on Cake that I believe had a similar structure.He made those awhile ago though, so while they are fine to watch and contain good strategy, I'd take a look at some of the newer end game videos, particularly ones in the Super Turbo structure on FTP (25bb one they have now).  All the 10bb or lower situations are definitely applicable to the 10bb games you play.The same goes for non super turbo videos.  If Mersenneary, for example, is playing a 50bb match or a 25bb match, he's going to offer the same thought process as he would at 25bb in either structure.  The only real difference will be the reads he has developed on his opponent.  But the plays he makes based on his reads will be the same.So that certainly opens up a lot of material for you to use for that structure or any type of structure.  Utilizing a wider range of videos to help you improve is something many people won't think to do, so it's an additional way to get more value out of the site.
