Play tight pre, then bet good and fold bad. Proper bet-sizing is key.
10nl: Flop
To crush 10nl, learn to cbet, value bet, and what to do when you flop various draws.
25nl: Turn
For most hands at 10nl and lower, it's over by the turn. Either it's all-in, or no more is going in. At 25nl, you find lots of interesting turn spots. Winning requires a plan for the whole hand BEFORE you commit any chips.
Robb, great post, but I just wanted to point out that I think this part is a bit oversimplified. I think even at 2NL players will benefit greatly from having an overall plan and from analyzing river spots and learning how these tough decisions on later streets can be avoided with sound play on earlier streets. You may be right that these specific skills are enough to beat those specific levels, but I worry that following this step-by-step can easily lead to the forming of bad habits that will require a complete overhaul when moving up.
