Any value for Micro Players? HU player looking for advice

Hi, I play micro stakes and was wondering even with the value package if the videos had any irrelevancy to the stakes I'm playing? I hope one day my double digit bankroll can turn into 4 digits to play with the big boys but I have lost 4 digits before and don't want to deposit more to potentially lose that again. So knowing I lack fundamentals I feel the best method to play with the big boys is to build it up from something small.

Right now my strategy is to start 6 max tables and try to play short handed as much as possible. This can go either for NLHE or PLO depending on which tables get joined first (pokerstars or full tilt, full tilt having the happy hour for short handed tables). If the table gets filled I only stay if the table is really action oriented otherwise I quit on my next BB and start a 6 max table again hoping to play HU with a person who's used to 6 max.

I believe this method is the fastest way to build my roll while following bankroll management procedures. When I played PLO50 (50bb short HU tables) it only took me 15k hands for me to lose over 30 buyins. Unfortunately with rake being harder to beat I was playing a game I needed a huge edge on, but the interest of the game kept bringing me back and I kept depositing. Eventually I've decided to grind it at the micros hoping their HU game is not as solid and one day have the roll to play at proper HU tables. Yes the rake is horrible at 50 HU and under but I having a bonus to offset the disadvantage a bit makes it a great learning fundamental tool without investing too much. Just got to make it a habit to stop playing when running bad, since the excuse of having a bonus is a unacceptable to one playing poorly.

What are your thoughts on my strategy? And would the value package 9.99$ help my case?
