this is a fantastic book. all the other no limit books are for big book and tournament poker. the best part was the inflated bet strategy. At microlimits, no one thinks about small bets so you can increase your profits substantially by increasing your raising limits and bets.
a great contribution and it also has good ideas that can be used at any level in my opinion.

It is nice to see a book dedicated to Micro Stakes. There is not a lot Micro stuff out there and micros need to be played different than higher stakes poker. You will find idea’s specific to micro stakes. I like the hand analysis. The author describes how he plays specific hands why. If you follow the advice in this book you will at save a lot of chips and only put your chips at risk in favorable situations. It’s an easy, fast and interesting read.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book is good for the absolute beginner, but for people that have been playing awhile don’t waste your time. I also disagree with some of his open limping concepts.

I bought this book last week or so and I’m happy with my purchase. I play lots of micro stakes at PokerStars and the strategies that Mr. Mitchell talks about in this book do actually work.
Although I’m now beating NL5 for about 7 big blinds per 100 hands played (7bb/100) using this book’s strategies, a more aggressive style could probably win more but in the author’s defense, he does mention that this is more or less a strategy to help the losing player start winning. The book delivers on this promise.
Overall, two thumbs up.

The book is WAY to short. Like a previous reader stated, the “book” could be summed up in 10 pages. The rest is filler. Author’s sample size is also way too short. I’ve had sample sizes of 80,000 hands where I ran great. Statistically, this is meaningless and the author probably knows it. Limping with suited aces and kings is a waste as the majority of time, if your flush comes in, you will not get paid off. Set mining is profitable, but do you really need to read a book to know this? My opinion is that the author struggles with the micro stakes like the majority of poker players and decided to try and make up for some losses with a poorly written, weak attempt at writing a book.
Very weak book that will do nothing to improve your game. Save your money. Oh, and for what it is worth, the author has been posting on his website since February 2010, that more “instructional” videos will be available shortly. I just checked his website and (5 months later) there are still no updates. There is MUCH better content available for free on the web.
I would have rated this zero stars if it were an option.
