There is a lot of money to be made at small stakes no-limit hold’em because… surprise, surprise… most of the players aren’t very good.
However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won’t beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don’t understand how to adjust correctly.
Playing a solid, competent, decently aggressive style is a strategy that will be profitable. That said, you should not be content with just beating these games – you should be absolutely crushing them. The trick to doing this is to disregard a lot of “correct” poker and get way out of line at the right times. The methods required are far from obvious or intuitive but in Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em Jonathan Little explains them in great detail.
Jonathan constructs a basic strategy to crush small stakes games and also identifies the adjustments that need to be made when facing more competent opposition.

A must read for students of the game of poker. I guess you’re browsing here it’s because either you want to improve your poker, or you know someone who does. If so, this is a book you should purchase. However this advice comes with a proviso. You wouldn’t buy a golfing advice book written by Tiger Woods and expect to win The Open, so don’t expect this book to instantly transform your game. What I can say, is that if you’re prepared to read, explore and think about the advice here, you are likely to enjoy some positive results (I certainly…
