Hey there.

I can help you with cash game strategy. Focus on these first and you will save a lot of time and effort.

pokerstars school has really upped the level of their new content in terms of reliability. They have Pete Clarke who is an excellent coach and also a content creator for Run It Once. Getting his knowledge for free is honestly a steal.

This is as good as free stuff gets and I would rely on his video series as your main resource for 6max cash: https://www.pokerstarsschool.com/lessons/6-max-cash-game-guide-dealing-with-limpers/1182/

And here is the text format course that goes hand in hand with the videos: https://www.pokerstarsschool.com/lessons/opening-the-pot/1019/



If this is too advanced for you then I recommend starting here and going in order: https://www.pokerstarsschool.com/courses/

I also recommend "From the Ground Up" which is a $50 course for 6max from Run It Once and simply amazing value, it's also by Peter Clarke. I will state that this is not an easy course to follow and he goes pretty fast, especially if you haven't learned much about poker in which case pokerstars school (with anything by Pete Clarke) will be more than enough for now. It's not something you can watch casually, you will need to pause/rewind it a lot and do a lot of rewatching and additional studying. He simply gives you a solid theoretical framework to build on, but it's aimed at slightly higher level play than the lowest micros imo. It's more advanced than his youtube videos.

After you've got a good foundation I recommend investing in something like Upswing Poker.

You can read the free Upswing poker articles, they are excellent. If you're a beginner a lot of them may be confusing to you but you will find as you pick up bits of info all the pieces of the puzzle will start to fit together as you re-read them several times (make sure to look up concepts you don't understand in these articles).

If you want even more good free content Splitsuit has Pokerbank on youtube and also free articles, he is one of the content creators for Red Chip Poker. He is very easy to follow and breaks concepts down so anyone can understand them.

Johnathan Little is another good source of great videos on youtube

Blackrain79 has some good content, free pdf's, and articles for micros.


I would say focus on Pete Clarke's free content for now + Pokerstars School, and look at blackrain79's Massive Profit at the Micros pdf ("Massive Profit at the Micros" is a bit dated now, but it's a solid beginner foundation). And read / watch content from Upswing / Jonathan Little / Splitsuit for fun on the side.

Upswing's $7 "Postflop Gameplan" is also a very nice "cheat sheet" of sorts to see you through while you learn a more in depth strategy.


For bankroll management:

Have at least 30 buy ins for whatever level you're starting to play at. Set a stop loss for times when you start losing or tilting (usually 2 or 3 buy ins).

the hud has a separate instructor for this, knowing all the meanings of the graphics of a hud takes dedication. how many others had pokerscool at pokerstars i don't know if it still exists, do a search there. and tell you the start at 888poker because the field is weaker

I second this. I would take this a step further and focus on european sites that also have sportsbetting and online casinos. You will get a lot more casino players who will occasionally decide to take a stab at poker, so the field on average will be softer. And also, these sites will also attract a lot of regs, so stay away from tables where you see the same player on multiple tables for now

Pokerstars and partypoker have much tougher opposition, so that should be where you go to imporove after you've learned how to win at softer sites.

Don't bother learning how to use a HUD (at least not in depth) until you've been playing for some time and have learned how to exploit players through observations and note talking. The HUD comes second to this.

Regarding the course I mentioned "From the Ground Up". If you're literally just starting out this course will confuse you more than help, so just do Stars School. It's back online now.

Doug Polk poker is also a good channel to watch for fun and pick up tidbits of info, he's the guy behind upswing poker and has several wsop bracelets.

I enjoy watching Daniel Negreanu's youtube vids for fun too, he's good at explaining stuff and you can pick up some good pieces of knowledge there too.

first a lot of this is covered here i do not like to categorize players except in broad terms
i personally color code people if they are terrible they get a note and color
if they are very good, dangerous or a friend they get a color
if they are ok they get a different color

equity and raise pokertracker and how to use a hud look into terminology first and work way through how to work the hud

different strategies would be here bankroll management pocket fives etc...

If you want to be a winning player you must have a coaching, you must study hard, I think they give you better information that will make you different from others, but if you do not have money for a coaching go to the pokerstars page there are articles related to the topic ...

I would think this is still all good content for learning players.
