Small Stakes No-Limit Hold 'em - Mason Malmuth - Bog

Small stakes no-limit hold 'em games usually feature several players who play quite poorly. To achieve best possible results in these games it becomes necessary to exploit your opponents to the maximum, which is much different from the Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach that is advocated by most players and poker instructors. This doesn't mean that a GTO approach won't win in today's small stakes games, but it does mean that a highly exploitive player, providing he follows the right strategies, can do even better.
