I have known Alton Hardin since the summer of 2014. We met on twoplustwo. At the time, we had both independently noticed that there didnt appear to be an awful lot of new content being created for very new poker players, or players that had never really grasped the fundamentals of No Limit Texas Hold'em.

We hit it off immediately, and I had some input in the first incarnation of Altons Microgrinder.com website. Alton works harder than anyone I know in poker. His desire to create valuable yet easy-to-understand content for new players and long-term losing players alike is fantastic, and many players just like you have benefited hugely from his teachings. Alton is a pleasure to work with. His passion is infectious, and it is an honor that he asked me to write this foreword.

I started playing poker in 2003-2004. I started out playing SNGs on Pacific Poker very much as a recreational player, not even considering that poker could become an income stream for me. Fast forward to 2007-2008 and, following some four-figure MTT scores, I made the decision to focus almost exclusively on online cash games at 25NL and 50NL. Since then, I have made over $150,000 from micro stakes cash games up to 50NL, and in 2014 I began creating learning material aimed at new or struggling micro stakes players on my RegiTime Poker School YouTube channel. I also worked for Grinderschool.com as a poker coach until they stopped producing new material in 2016. I have also coached over 100 players since 2014 and have an excellent understanding of the problems new and losing players encounter on a daily basis.

New poker players and long-term losing poker players share many common leaks when playing the game we all love. In this book, Alton is aiming to help players identify the mistakes they have repeatedly been making, followed by helping players install solid fundamentals from which they can build a profitable and enjoyable way to pursue their hobby. The way Alton has set the book up is excellent. It is a beautiful balance of theory and practice with many concepts being laid out in an easy to understand format, which is then complemented by hand history examples to further illustrate to the reader how to apply the concepts they have been reading about.
