BOOK
Intro
What you are going to read below are my notes that I took from my
coachings with Gordon. I collected all the notes and summed them up
and categorized them here. The point of this scrap book is to give you
quick and simple read to remind yourself of some of the most important
things/facts/concepts a micro stakes poker player should know. Its good
as a pre session warm up read for example. Just for the record I would like
to mention that all the notes have been taken/created from the videos
that come along with the NO 6max BS course. For the abbreviations used
check out the HansTheGreat Abbreviation Dictionary. I hope you will find
it useful.

1. Preflop
1.1. Theoretical Advices
1.1.2. vs Re-Raise(3B)
Never F to m3B / Dont respect them (all sorts of things)
Vs 2,5x 3B you can C with a lot more playable hands especially IP
3
2. Postflop
2.1. Limped Pots
B always every Pair
2.2.2. Flop
Never Xb 2ndP as a default
Against 4 people you should D out your TP
CB 3rdP 4way = burning money
If someone barrels a lot dont float dry paired low F with A high
Just X/R/F w OESD if there is a FD out there(unless you get m3B OTF)
If you face a mR OTF with a weak made hand C and F unimproved
With a GS + Overs its possible to C against a X/mR
2.2.3. Turn
2nd barreling range should always contain GS+overs
If you are facing a XR OTT from people who C a bigger IsoR preflop you should
only continue with 2P+
2.2.4. River
If you are in a pot with a limper you could vB thinly(1/3 1/2PSB) OTR w TPMK
4
2.2.5. vs SSS/MSS players
With the nFD you can play a bit more aggressive against SS or MSS players
2.5.1. Bluffing
Simple bluffing strategy: bluff scare cards
4 straight boards and 4 card flush boards arent bad to bluff against most
opponents
Against +2 people you dont want to bluff a 4 str8 or 4 card flush board
5
You should only B bigger if you think it will increase your F EQ
Its important to understand and differentiate BB vs BU and BB vs UTG going
broke ranges
In order to F 2P you need a huge read(min. 4times)
X/C is a line that has to be used in right spots or you burn a lot of money
You have to watch out to not own yourself with a bad kicker
2P on monotone boards are not that strong and treat it like TP

3. General Remarks
3.1 From Default Strategy to Adjusting
Your default game is not that important as long as you can adjust
You change your strategy if your opponent starts to C down lighter and not if he
gets lucky and hits
If we have just 1 read we dont change our plan 100%
If you have 300+ hands on someone you can start making some smaller
adjustments
As soon as you are able to adjust everything else is less important
The point is that you have to logically analyze if your line was correct (learn to
learn from informations)
The point is that I also see the results although I didnt went to SD
Its more important that you know how to deal with information then having a
default plan
Rule of thumb: If we know that the opponent has higher frequency with 3rdP we
try to bluff him off unless he is a monster station
Rule: Never expect people to F TP
Arguments for a play should be made based on facts ( so instead of I dont
wanna see a XR we should argue for a play based on I saw him XR already 3
times)
You have to learn how to see the big picture(through notes understanding your
opponent)
Understand relative hand strength based on board texture(on some boards you
can only C down w 2P while on others you can try to GII)
Wrong Mindset on Lower Stakes: People find a reason to see a scare card
You always have to think ONE step ahead of your opponent
The situation makes a play right or wrong
A number should not make a play good or bad
There is no point to make stupid play to avoid another stupid play
Be careful with inducing

3.2.1. Notes/Reads
Generalize reads as much as possible
Watch out for snap F because they might be good spots for cheap bluffs
Take a note of snap X and generally take a look at what it is
If someone tanks you know that your overB was bad
If you have a reasonable reads you can make C downs that would normally be a F

3.5. Money & Opponents On Micro Stakes
Knowing where your profits come from is very important
A lot of money comes from our opponents being stupid/making bad plays(extra
edge)
There is no need to outplay everybody to come up with a profit
People(Donkey) play usually tricky with the nuts
People(Donkey) hate vB
REMEMBER: At the micros you make money by simply putting in money when you
have a hand and dont put any when you dont have much
