Micro Stakes Cash Strategy Books - Any recommendations?

Hi Guys/Girls,
I don't post here much, but have been playing on Sky Poker for around 6 years now, playing a mix of tournaments, SnG's, cash - mostly micro stakes games. I guess I can say there has been some improvement in my play during that time, although it has been very slow improvement and nothing to shout about! Hence still playing micro stakes :wink: I'm putting this down to not foccussing my efforts on one particular type of game, and not studying the game enough. So this year, I've decided to focus on cash games and put some time in to studying and fixing my leaks. Is there any material out there that any of your good selves would recommend that specifically relates to micro stakes cash games? i.e books, videos etc. I know there are some very good generic poker books out there although I'm looking for some content that will help me improve in the area that I am playing. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Oh and another of my new years resolutions is to get involved in the Sky Poker community more, so here I am! :o) Wishing you all well on the tables.

    Hi Timmy,

    Would be great to see you posting more often.

    Pretty sure you'll get some helpful replies to your post, but you may need to wait a day or two.

    If nobody replies, I'll nudge a few guys who I know will help.

    More knowledgeable people than me but imo stay away from books, unless you know you soak in info whilst reading compared to watching. Many are outdated and there are just so many better options on twitch and youtube.

    https://www.twitch.tv/peter804/videos

    These are 2 cash streamers on twitch with decent reputations, they also have previous videos where there's just hours of free content from winning players. Win/win imo.

    Youtube wise there's some higher stakes stuff but Charlie Carrell is offering some good microstakes content, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix8DMqqnLYU (this video is 2nl so below even what is offered on Sky). I find him pretty insufferable but a lot of his thoughts are golddust imo for the Sky game - he's all about making sure we maximise profits every hand and couldn't care less about being balanced (pretty good starting strat for sky) :)

    Agree with @Allan23 that a lot of books are outdated. The only book really worth reading imo is The Mental Game of Poker, but as you may be able to tell by the name is more to do with the mental side of the game than playing side. Run It Once has some good content on but you have to pay monthly, if you were to do that go with the 'essential' plan. There's probably some twitch streamers out there worth watching that people better informed than me can recommend.

    Definitely agree with @Allan23 & @FeelGroggy that books are probably NOT the best way forward. Poker evolves & changes, no sooner is a book published than it is out of date.

    I suppose Super System might be an exception, & certainly "Mental Game of Poker" is worthwhile.

    Good luck @Timmy712, & if you have any more questions, fire away.
