It's all very well simply stating all the various hands you can play without taking into consideration your position at the table, early, middle or late and you need to know which hands to play from each. George Orwell's book '1984' springs to mind ' All pigs are equal, but some pigs are more equal than others'. To only play A down to 10 restricts you to play 14% of the possible hands. Playing A down to 9 gives what many players use as the optimum 1 in 5 hands or 21%. Playing A down to to 8 allows you to play about 28% of the hands. Play whichever you wish. If you are playing down to the 9 you will need to rank 36 hands from AA down to 10 9, if playing to the 8 you will need to rank 49 hands AA down to 9 8. Ranking is a minefield where I am not going. Everyone has their own idea of what ranks higher or lower, and the ensuing differences of opinion woukd go on forever. Decide on your own personalised version, but try to keep it simple.
'holdem secrets can' be a useful starting point and adapt it to suit yourself. Use the top third to play in the early position, the top third and the next third to play in the middle position, and all of them to play in the late position.
Let me know if any clarification is needed.
