Thanks Dave, that's great .. Classical tips but it's so better in a cheat sheet !
Think you forgot ATs
If you mean Ace Ten (suited) then I rated the two (suited and unsuited) fairly evenly and both as "good" hands. The positional play section was based on several other resources, and I they had Ace Ten in various combinations as a great hand, good hand and even OK hand.
