There is a lot of money to be made in small stakes poker games (and also low buy-in tournaments). However, very few players understand exactly how to win the most from these games, mainly because they play a "regular" strategy and miss opportunities to deviate profitably.

The key to success in these games is knowing when you can get way out of line at the right times. In Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold 'Em, Jonathan Little explains exactly how to do this. He starts by constructing a basic strategy and then identifies the key adjustments that need to be made.

This book is essential for players who play at the small stakes but will also prove invaluable for players who play large tournament that feature many recreational players.

Here are three of the many tips Jonathan provides in the book to help improve your game:

1. All Limpers do Not have the Same Ranges
It is important to realize that when someone just calls the big blind before the flop (limps) that their range is not necessarily weak. While many players limp with a weak range, some players only or mostly limp with premium hands, looking to limp/re-raise. Always focus on each specific opponent’s tendencies and adjust your strategy accordingly.

2. Over-Fold to River Aggression
Many players in small stakes no-limit hold’em games play reasonably before the flop and on the flop, but they are often much too cautious on the turn and river to the point that most of them have far too few bluffs in their range when they make a substantial bet on the river. So, when someone wants to put in a substantial bet on the river, you should usually over-fold, opting to fold most of your hands that can only beat bluffs.

3. Pay Attention to the Payout Structure
While most poker tournaments have somewhat standard payout structures, many small stakes tournaments in small local casinos have abnormal structures. Most tournaments today pay roughly 15% of the field with first place getting roughly 25% of the prize pool. However, other tournaments may pay only 10% of the field
and award first place 40% of the prize pool. With the more top heavy payout structure, you are incentivized to play more aggressively to try to claim first place.

If instead 20% of the field gets in the money with first place getting 15% of the prize pool, you should play far more cautiously and try to slowly sneak up the payout ladder.

"A great book, but a lot of information to absorb. Its going to take a few readings to get the most out of it. Well written and easy to understand though."
