    Check out the book Crushing Microstakes by BlackRain79. He's the biggest microstakes winner of all time on PokerStars. His book outlines a very solid ABC strategy that if followed will beat 2nl and 5nl. I tried it. It works great.

    Don't take any book like this as gospel. It's a good starting point but it's meant to do what it says on the front - help you beat microstakes. It'll miss big parts out about becoming a good player and holding onto the concepts for too long with prohibit you from moving up stakes profitably. There's a reason BlackRain has never moved up

    I was thinking the same thing. Is it really a good thing being the biggest microstakes winner of all time?

    Like in Bull Durham, when Crash sets the all-time record for minor league home runs (and nobody notices).

    Some things we learn well from peers and others are best taught by experts. I'm one of those who moved up from NL10 through 25's and 50's. I got to NL100 and got obliterated. I got obliterated so bad I couldn't beat NL50 any more. Those guys were SOOOO much better than me.

    Grab any resource that will make you better, sure, but remember there's tons of great (FREE!!!) content at FTR from folks like Griffey, Daven, and Spoonitnow (and IowaSkinsFan and Spenda and dozens of others). They started at the micros and won their up to NL100 and beyond. And their combined strategy posts would more than fill a couple books.
