Summary

There is a lot of money to be made at small-stakes no-limit hold'em because...surprise, surprise...most of the players aren't very good.

However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won't beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don't understand how to adjust correctly.

Playing a solid, competent, decently aggressive style is a strategy that will be profitable. That said, you should not be content with just beating these games - you should be absolutely crushing them. The trick to doing this is to disregard a lot of “correct” poker and get way out of line at the right times. The methods required are far from obvious or intuitive but in Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em Jonathan Little explains them in great detail.

Jonathan constructs a basic strategy to crush small-stakes games and also identifies the adjustments that need to be made when facing more competent opposition.

You need this book if....

  • You frequently play small-stakes no-limit hold'em
  • You usually play larger stakes but (especially live) often have to make do with smaller stakes games
  • You play tournaments (such as WSOP events) that feature numerous recreational players

Tough listen

The content is solid and I definitely learnt some tips but there is a lot of maths and the narration is hard to follow. It also refers to a lot of charts that aren’t to hand when you’re listening driving. Probably better as a paper book than an audio

Best as a paper book.

So the content itself is great and I think Jonathan does a great job in his books. However I don't find it suitable for an audio book.

The main reason is because of the maths behind it. Ideally you want to be reading and taking notes. I also find it to fast to follow. The speed option makes the audio more disstorted for me.

If you want something for car journeys, this isn't the ideal book.

Dizzy after listening

I like Jonathan as a coach for the game, but I found this audiobook to be dizziyingly inaccessible.

This could be drastically improved by not naming every single hand in the range he is referring to. Instead naming the the top, mid and bottom pair in said range.

Maybe this style just doesnt suit me, but in the last 18 months I've listened to almost 40 audiobooks (including at least 1 other Jonathan Little book) and very rarely do I struggle to comprehend what I'm listening to. And some of these are quite technical books.

In short, finding a shorter way to convey the range you are referring to would have me rating this at least 4 star. People can refer to the PDF charts for a more comprehensive picture of the range you refer to.
