I would strongly recommend Jonathan Little's content. He has a lot of free content on YouTube and some more on his website; pokercoaching.com.

He also has a wide range of books. If you are fairly new to the game I would start with Strategies for Beating Small Stakes Poker Tournaments/Cash Games (two different books). If you have reasonable experience already, I'd recommend Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Holdem. Which is much more in depth and will give you a serious test in thinking about the game.

Thanks for reply!

Pokercoaching and Jonathan is amazing i know. I'm following him. But i need to a book for specific concept on exploitative game. Just like there are books specific for mental stuff or GTO. I couldn't find any for "exploitative game" for online poker...

Mastering Small Stakes will do that. It explains what the fundamentally sound play is and then how to exploit certain player pool traits. That is basically what exploitative strategy is: solid foundation and the ability to spot and exploit opponents weaknesses.

Exploit is just a synonym for taking advantage of a person for personal benefit. Just change your search word to a word synonymous with exploit and you should find what you are searching for.

if you want to exploit your opponent you have to know your opponent

and by that playing a lot of hands vs him, in that way you can exploit him

hope it helps

Crushing The Microstakes by Nathan Villiams AKA Blackrain79 is a classic, when it comes to how to exploit bad poker players.

All the books raise this question, in other words, how to get the most out of your spectrum, if you consider yourself a fairly successful player, you can play any two, but at the same time clearly control and understand where why and who, there is no point in using such moves if you play more than three tables for example

This is the 3rd time you will read this: blackrain79. Non-GTO approch. He explain you how a NL2 & NL5 fish thinks about the game and the reason behind the decisions you need to take against them. Totally different than the decesions you make vs a person that tries to improve his/her game everyday.

I'm in the process of createing a discord study group but I'm only interested on players that seek Exploitative strategy. If any one is interested PM me.

You are right. Thank you for reply. Even 3 tables would be enough to make me mistakes cause I'm not much experienced and calculating things slowly. Just trying to be correct. Thank you for reply and let me know your opinions!

poker is not chess, even if everything is done correctly - it is not always a plus

You're right. But when there is math (calculating odds in complex hands) and focusing problem cause of more tables (my turn at same time in few tables, time is going and makes stress) that makes me lose. I would play better if i could focus. Just need experience on multitabling.

Thanks for reply and let me know your opinions! :)

tables are not used during the game, this is done when analyzing the game and parsing the session, while the game usually uses hud hm or pt
