Thanks

Havent read it but looking at his graph he certainly do crush those games and does produce training videos so probably knows how to explain things properly.

i get through this book (didnt ready every word) but except this limping strategy (limping small pps from EP) i agree with everything here i think it is definitely worth of money for new players who want to start making money from poker + players who stucked in NL5 for long time (i would definitely buy it if i iam playing NL2 or NL5 now)

i got opportunity to see only blackrain videos from NL2 and NL5 when i was playing NL5 and his videos increased my winrate from 2BB/100 to 4BB/100 in one week by just watching his videos, he is definitely very good player to learn from in NL2-NL5

I think this guy is fan of his books

wow such a massive fail
he played 2.5m hands at 2nl and 5nl and he's losing after 350k hands of 25nl

hes winning at both 25 and 50NL , with just like 1.5bb but that is definitely not losing

I remember him from my 2NL days. In his normal state, he actually plays very well for a 2NL player, better than many of the players who berate him imo, but often goes on some massive tilt sessions and spews like 20 BI in 500 hands by shoving any 2 cards preflop.

Tilted $7k? What have you been drinking? Serve me too

Maybe it's good, but aren't these low or normal winrates for these stakes? Correct me if I'm wrong, as I've never played below 25nl. Noting against the author, don't know a thing about him, but just seems to be a little misleading.

My last 57k hands at small stakes, which I would consider more in the line of crushing:

omg bro your sick

Hi everyone. I am the author and I will be happy to answer any questions that you have about the content

No, this is far from "low or normal" on Pokerstars. Over such a large sample, his win rate is excellent. This would be fairly normal on softer sites though.

It's a really really good book for any beginning player. It will teach you alot of concepts you may have read about on 2+2 but weren't exactly sure what they meant. It focuses on the essentials and gives anyone looking for a way to better themselves as a player ways to do it.

The most interesting thing people should consider on these stakes which the book explains really really well is overbetting preflop with your premiums. This is a 2NL strategy which really helps you out to get the most value out of your big hands. While that strategy is a really bad and a huge tell if you play with anyone remotely competent, suprisingly enough on 2NL it produces amazing results. Lots of little tidbits like this can be found everywhere throughout the book and anyone playing at these stakes can get at least something out of it.

I've also done some 1 on 1 coaching with the guy and not only is he the most affordable coach you could find with a coaching rate of 30$/hour, he's really on fire the entire session and looks for ways to help you out in any way he can. He also lets you stay pass the allotted time and also helps you over skype if u have trouble with something poker related. Can't recommend the guy enough.

I would say they are pretty normal, just look at the other winners at 5NL it's just that noone else would play that many hands there lol. 2NL and 5NL you really dont need to know much about poker to beat them. I also would not try to "chrush" these nanostakes with a special strategy where you get in trouble at higher limits, rather try to improve your game at these stakes and prepare how to play good poker for the higher limits

According to PTR, the only player who has a higher winrate at 2NL on PokerStars over a large sample size this year is HellNative. BlackRain79 is 2nd best and is first in most money made in 2011; this is not "pretty normal".
