How To Beat The Microstakes: EP 1 - The Basics

[@proton600]

Good stuff. I agree with folding to 3bets more, I've got into a lot of trouble calling them. Most Regs have a insanely tight 3bet range and a 4bet range exclusively made of AA + KK

[@RICKYDENNIS49]

Thank you so much for the work you put in making these videos, I love your no bulls**t style. I have watched so many poker videos over the years. Yours is down to earth advice for the micros. I love your sense of humour too, all the very best to you Sir. 🏆

[@mortispronto70]

great video - which hud do you use ?

[@andiandrei7353]

people, these strategies don't work anymore at micro stakes. This is a video from 7 years ago, the player base evolved at the micros, at nl5m 10, 25, there are like 10% fish and most of them are bad or good regulars, at nl2 they still work, but not further than that. It's pretty dumb to say that balance doesn't matter if you want to evolve, you can't play good poker by making the most simple decisions because you will get exploited and the rake is already killing you at the micros, if you want to be the guy that has 2-3 bb/100 h at hte micros, than yeah, this is the perfect strategy for you in 2021, because you cant get out of micros playing like that, you can build your bankroll much faster if you work a daily job.

I play on pokerstars and 10% as you mentioned sounds like a dream. More like 5٪

[@Ash-so2sr]

Just what I needed to hear, thank you

[@AhanVlog]

One of the best video ever

[@Warsonix]

[@TedDyP0wer]

Hi What about 2NL?

[@kc6401]

Really good video one of the best on micro stakes

[@chriswithersphotography]

Dude you are hilarious! Can you do a time-lapse video playing like 300 hands using this method? Would be cool to see how it goes.

[@kc6401]

I LOVE YOU Finally someone told the focusing truth

[@Shanksy007]

i am running into an abnormal amount of coolers and it is very annoying does anyone have tips ? i keep busting bankroll, im playing extremely nitty and it just seems to not be working. i study for hours on end and it just feels like wasted hours with the amount of bad luck im running into. Currently down 500$ this month from playing 5 NL on ignitions

[@СергейГолубев-л5п]

man, you should really avoid playing nitty, and get feel of opponents. By my experience, I can say 1 thing: - As opps are weak (not 3bet much), set-mining is gold - As opps are TIGHT and Nitty, playing suited connected cards are giant +EV as you have tremendous implied odds. - If you play offsuit brodways, esp lowest ones, you probably don't know something about micros (mean u should stop doing it most of the time). Reason: Nits/tights dominates you, you don't have required skill to overplay postflop. - You SHOULD actually defend you checking range on postflop with good TPGK TPTK, esp on dry boards, because check is what people on micros tend to get as VERY WEAK HES IS SHIT, GONNA CALL HIM ALL 2 REMAINED STREETS. (as u can see u can get same value on river, turn). And more....

[@SoFasT99]

Go down in stakes. Simple. BRM is all

[@marksimpson2321]

You are alnost certainly not good enough to beat 5nl. Drop down to 2nl non zoom. Play the same volume and compare your results.

[@thec0rnshizzle33]

Shank I'm not being funny when I say this but if you are down 100 buy ins in a month then I recommend you find a new source for studying, or at least read the book you have got the right way up ( only joking), hope things have improved for you since

[@fausto7394]

Hey, did you recover from that bad luck? How are you doing right now?

[@tomasdirocco]

excelent!!! and very funny

[@BM-js9bf]

The Bible of micro stakes should be a book.

[@MarcIndy333]

Your name irl isn’t John is it? You sound just like a guy from my work! I’m guessing you’re from the Netherlands.

[@icanspelle6050]

No I am John from your work

[@nyderalin3644]

Ahahahahahah

[@Surfinbirdpeter]

i love the vids, but the quality needs to be better. its 2020. and its 480p

[@BestBetUSA]

We upload videos at the resolution of the source material. For some reason, this was recorded at 480p but most of the other videos of the series are in HD. We will always upload the highest quality we have available. Thanks!

[@xxChacaronXX]

hahahah 15:30 ..... "hmmMMmmMMmmMMmMmmm"

[@EpicKillstreak]

How old is this video? I mean the source material? PS client looks very old. I am worried it might not be very relevant for todays play.

[@BestBetUSA]

Video was recorded in late 2014. While the game is constantly changing, there are absolutely aspects of these videos which can be applied to today's game, especially at the microstakes.

[@toaderionel6814]

@@BestBetUSA are these plays still good to apply playing on PS up to 25nl? Please let me know so to see if I can take them into account or not! Thanks! Great content!
