In January of 2010, while players complained about how difficult online poker had become, Pawel “Verneer” Nazarewicz wanted to demonstrate that, with the right approach, building a bankroll from scratch could still be done at the online tables. So starting at the micro stakes, he worked his way up the poker ladder turning $100 into $10,000 in 120 days. He accomplished the same feat a year later in exactly 100 days. In this book, Pawel shares the building blocks necessary for achieving long-term success at online poker. These teachings focus on seven fundamental concepts: - Accept Variance - Manage Your Bankroll - Develop Reads - Play Solid - Stay on Your A-Game - Put in the Hours - Remain a Student

have been playing poker casually for many years, and have now decided to take it more seriously. If you are thinking of playing full ring cash games at the micro stake level, this is the book for you. It covers all the important concepts you will need for these stakes. Table of contents here [...]. Each chapter is clearly explained. As a player himself, Veneer crushed these levels, so knows what he is talking about. He is a prominent poster on the two plus two poker forums, and has personally replied to questions I have asked. It's burning money not to buy it.
I have read some other famous poker books (Harrington, Sklansky) but none have helped me as much as this book. The book is not that thick because it does not waste time on endless introductions or explaining basic terminology. The book is filled with cold hard facts in bite-sized chapters. Verneer explains how to handle specific situations very well, and the examples are "real". Some books tend to illustrate with hypothetical situations that are unlikely or rare in real life, but the examples in this book are the difficult situations we encounter daily.
Because it does not explain all terminology I would not recommend this book for the absolute poker noob. If you do not know terms like cbet, limping, steal, odds, isolating, ... it might be better to start with another book and pick this one up later. For me, as an "advanced beginner", this was a good thing. I was able to process the chapters pretty quick, and because of their relatively small size it is inviting to reread them which makes it more easy to treat this book as study book instead of random entertainment. 5/5 *****
