Strategies for Beating Small Stakes Poker Tournaments
Discover the secrets to dominating small stakes poker tournaments in this comprehensive guide by professional poker player Jonathan Little. Learn how to identify and exploit the three primary player types you will encounter, and adjust your strategy to crush passive and aggressive opponents playing too many or too few hands. By keenly observing your opponents and diligently taking notes on their tendencies and mistakes, you can develop specific exploitative tactics to maximize your edge. Increase your aggression in intelligent spots, make well-timed bluffs, and value bet relentlessly against calling stations. Avoid mindlessly adhering to a fixed hand range, and instead adapt to play the most profitable counter-strategy against each opponent. Master these approaches, as well as other key ideas like hand ranges, implied odds, and betting sizing, and you will quickly move up from the small stakes to higher levels where serious money awaits.

Bluffs
Have you ever wondered how the best poker players in the world successfully bluff on a regular basis? Many amateurs make the mistake of mindlessly attempting sporadic bluffs because they do not fully understand when and why to bluff. In this book, world-class poker professional Jonathan Little (with over $6,300,000 in live tournament cashes) will explain when and why to bluff in order to maximize your chances of success. “Bluffs” demonstrates how to widen your ranges and force your opponents to make costly errors. In small and middle stakes cash games and tournaments, you will often find yourself playing against conservative opponents who play in a straightforward manner. They see flops with their good hands and fold to bets when they do not connect with the board. Against these players, you can play a wide range with the intention of playing aggressively post-flop. Numerous examples, featuring the play of an amateur player who got out of his comfort zone to put these tactics to the test, make it clear when you should play aggressively and the thoughts you should consider as you do so. Each situation is explained with attention to your hole cards, stack size, position, and your perception of your opponent. You will learn how to apply the concepts discussed in “Bluffs” in the real world, allowing you to win more money from poker.
