Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em

Well, this isn't exactly a testament to the strategies outlined in SSNLHE but it is a success story. I have 400,000 hands at $1/$2 no limit with a winrate of 10bb/100. I don't know how this compares to people using the stratgegies in the book, but for me this is a simple tight stratgey that is much easier to use than stratgegies outlined in the book, especially when multitabling.

Very nice John! Are you talking live or online? 6-max or full table?

If you are referring to live 1/2, then you are correct, that a generally tight-agg style will win big because there are so many loose fish at these tables.

If you are referring to online full table 1/2, tight still works but you can really open up and utilize some of the books feature to increase you profit even more. (stealing blinds, barrelling bluffs, river betting, isolating bad players)

Online 6 max is really what the book aims for, hence the amped up aggression. If you are super tight or timid in that game, you may be less successful.
