Here my result for January.

I have nothing to add anymore.

Re: Any reviews for Crushing the Microstakes?

It seems like alot of volume but it really isn't. 6416 is only ~107 hours of play. You can do that in 13 days if you play 8 hours a day. Granted that's alot of volume only to make $2.45 an hour.

I often see you at the tables, and have a note on you saying "weak tight mass-table nit/set-miner". I guess you've learned from Nathan to increase your bet sizes to get paid off bigger with your monster hands. Congrats!
You're in Ukraine, aren't you?

You should now evolve to a non-nit and open more hands play more aggressive and playing back at regulars.

My last 57k hands at small stakes, which I would consider more in the line of crushing:
25nl [x] heater
100nl [x] heater
200nl [] heater

“You should now evolve to a non-nit and open more hands play more aggressive and playing back at regulars.”
I plan to play so since nl5. On nl2 too much clowns like this 45/20/6,5.

You absolutely rights in everything. More about me - http://www.blackrain79.com/2012/02/i...andrewabc.html

“Man, you have quite a bit of time”
107hrs/month=107:31=3.45hrs/day. Not so much time if to do it every day.

“sick volume bro!”
Is it a compliment or abuse?

That is a compliment on how many hands you've played

Re: Any reviews for Crushing the Microstakes?

Probably the best book around for starting cash game players but also for the players that want to get out of the micros asap. I have the book and i love it!

Re: Any reviews for Crushing the Microstakes?

I bought the e-book yesterday and read it in two sittings.
It's not that it's too short or lacking information. It's just concise and to the point, telling you everything you need to know for beating the nanostakes, without adding too much complicated math or theory that you can find elsewhere. I'm absolutely certain that Nathan's tips for "extraction" will boost my winrate at 2NL, although I doubt any reader will crush Stars 2NL at a double-digit winrate like he did in the past.

I mainly hang out in the Beginners Questions part of 2+2, and this book should be required reading for all the newbies. It's basically the nanostakes equivalent of 'Super System'. It's really that revolutionary, and - like Doyle's book - could lead to the games getting a whole lot tougher at the micro level. Nathan's "playbook" has worked for a few years, but once his tips get adopted by the mainstream, their impact will be lessened. So my advice to a beginning player is: Get this book before Nathan's winning strategies stop working!

Re: Any reviews for Crushing the Microstakes?

Is this book really translatable to 6 max, or is it one of these full ring books that have like a paragraph on how to extrapolate full ring play to 6 max play?

I never play FR but still found the book immensely useful and if you add some good value coaching to the package you are very good to go.

Lol, when basic TAG play stops working at 2nl-5nl the majority of folk 50nl+ will have hung themselves out of frustration due to micro, micro-edges they hold over each other. [/sarcasm]

2nl-5nl and up to 10nl will have plenty of fish for my lifetime, and even beyond that there will be recreational players looking to mess around.

The euro sites are absolutely full of them at all levels.

Re: Any reviews for Crushing the Microstakes?

Bought the book and also read it in 2 sittings. If I started it in the morning I prob would of read it in 1 go.
Great read, very clear and concise. An absolute must for any newbie or player at the micros needing a point in the right direction.
I wonder if the majority of micro players read and adapt to this book will we see players then readjusting to this creating different levels in the games?
Highly unlikely however at NL2 or NL5.
