look PNL1 isn't for you guys. sorry but it's for experienced beginners who were ready to get serious. those players play mainly in loose microstakes online games and easy live games.

Thanks for the replies, but I'm curious. You say this book is for the micro games, however in one of Sunny's posts from the original review thread he says (referring to a question of raising AQo OTB):

Yes, in a lot of online games (particularly the low-stakes ones) with 100bb stacks it's often better to just suck it up with the top-pair hands and deal with the sometimes awkward SPRs for those hands because you are making so much from stealing, playing your position, reading your weak opponents, controlling the pot, making correct range decisions and laydowns, etc.

Doesn't this contradict what you're saying (that this book has good advice for mainly micro/SS live games)?

When I said "low stakes", I just meant stakes generally lower than like $10-$20 or $5-$10 or whatever, I wasn't referring to a specific level. There might be a huge difference between how, say, a $1-$2 game and a $.25-$.50 plays. For me there's no point in making generalizations there because game tendencies are so cyclical depending on site, time of day, day of week, lineup, post- or pre-leg, etc. When, for example, a student of mine has a specific question about a hand/line/whatever, I usually just make them be really explicit about explaining opponent types.
