"This has opened my eyes to an entirely new way to play (and win)."

"I spent about an hour going through the Masterclass before my last trip to Vegas, and I completely ran over most tables I sat at, winning countless pots with pure aggression. I also got the action I wanted and got paid off when I had the goods."

"I couldn't believe how many "aha" moments this training gave me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Beat Small Stakes and what we teach.

What games and stakes is this website and training for?

Our approach is best fit for live small stakes NL Texas Hold'em cash game players, playing stakes including $1/2, $1/3, and up to softer $2/5 games.

Do you teach tournament strategy?

Nope, our strategies are specifically for live small stakes cash games. However, if you're a tournament player looking to dramatically improve your cash game skills, you're in the right place.

Do you teach strategies for online poker as well?

Nope! Between AI, bots and GTO solvers, online poker has become incredibly difficult. However, live small stakes cash games are as beatable as ever, so that's we focus on teaching strategies for.

Do you teach how to play GTO?

Absolutely not! GTO is only useful when you're playing against very sophisticated opponents who are also playing a GTO style. In live poker, you typically won't start seeing that until you get into $5/10 NL and higher, or some very tough $2/5 deepstack games. We teach a very aggressive and unpredictable style of play that absolutely crushes live small stakes games without worrying about GTO.

My local game has gotten much more aggressive. Can you help me beat it?

Absolutely. Even live small stakes games have gotten tougher over the past 20 years, but they are still EXTREMELY beatable, and in many cases, more lucrative as more players are applying aggression incorrectly. Our "Controlled Chaos" system capitalizes on this and creates you the ultimate winning image and strategy for destroying live small stakes games.

Is this just memorizing a bunch of hand charts?

Nope! We hate that too. You don't have to be super precise when it comes to dominating small stakes games, but you do have to follow some basic guidelines to consistently crush. That's what our "Controlled Chaos" system is all about.
