Best Poker HUD - PokerTracker 4
As a professional poker player I have used PokerTracker for close to 10 years now at the poker tables.
Why?
Because it is by far the most advanced and easy to use poker HUD available today.
HUD stands for "heads up display" by the way.
And if you don't know what a poker HUD is or why it is important read this article first.
Basically PokerTracker allows you to get reads on your opponents, put their stats right on your poker table, study your hands, track your results and fix all your leaks.
For example:
This is why PokerTracker is absolutely essential poker software for any serious online poker player. It provides you with the reads you need to always make the best decisions.
As a professional poker player I rely on PokerTracker every single day. And the HUD alone has helped me win tens of thousands more dollars at the poker tables.
The actual database program itself is even more important to your development as a poker player because it allows you to find and fix your leaks and also study your opponents to find the best ways to beat them.
I made this step by step video to show you how to get PokerTracker up and running on your poker table in less than 5 minutes.
You can download the 30 day free trial of PokerTracker right now by clicking here.
Crushing the Microstakes is the most popular poker strategy book ever written for the lower limits, NL2 and NL5 in particular (or $1/$2 if you play live).
Crushing the Microstakes has now helped thousands of people turn their results around at these stakes.
And this is because as the author I have some of the highest winnings in online poker history at these stakes.
You will learn the exact strategies that I use to win thousands and thousands of dollars in these games as a 10+ year poker pro.
There is also an optional live play video course that comes with Crushing the Microstakes where you can just watch me crush 6max, Zoom and full ring while explaining every single decision I make.
You get to essentially "look over my shoulder" as I show you exactly how I created some of the highest winnings ever recorded in low stakes 6max, Zoom and full ring.
There are 9 videos with over 6 hours in total of me playing live while you get to watch every hand. You can also just download each video and watch them on the go!
Crushing the Microstakes also comes bundled with three extremely popular FREE bonuses:
If you are struggling to beat 1c/2c, 2c/5c (or $1/$2 live), then Crushing the Microstakes will teach you how to finally start consistently crushing these games.
You can go grab your copy of Crushing the Microstakes (and the video course) right now by clicking here.
Since this course is so massive, I just made a video with a complete walkthrough of everything that is included in BlackRain79 Elite Poker University.
In a nutshell, my new BlackRain79 Elite Poker University is a comprehensive advanced poker training course to start quickly improving your results at the poker table.
I now have another brand new course called Play Fearless Poker. This is my advanced bluffing course for serious poker players.

Indeed, Modern Small Stakes is the most comprehensive small stakes poker book ever written and it has helped thousands of people now start winning big.
I must warn you though that this is not a beginner's book. If you are brand new to the game, then you should read Crushing the Microstakes and watch my video course first.
Modern Small Stakes is instead intended for serious poker players who have graduated beyond the beginner stage and already had some success in the lowest stakes games.
That is why many of the strategies in this book are geared towards out-witting and out-smarting decent opponents like you will find in a 10c/25c game these days online.
If you are really serious about taking your poker game to the next level, then Modern Small Stakes is the poker book for you.

Are you struggling to win at the very lowest stakes right now and literally have no clue where to begin? This is why I recently wrote a free little poker cheat sheet.
It is called Massive Profit at the Micros.
I wrote this little guide for people who just need a lifeline, a way to start winning right now. And I wanted it to be free as well so that absolutely anyone can get it right now.
And don't worry, it's not super long. It's only about 50 pages. Therefore, you should be able to read through the whole thing in about an hour at the most.
If you start consistently applying the strategies in this free guide you will without a doubt start seeing much better results in the lower limit poker games online or in the casino.
