Some Reviews from Our Students:
"I took three of MicroGrinder Poker School's courses while playing 5nl almost a year ago. Since then I have used the knowledge from these courses to get to 200nl. If you want to move up from the microstakes, this poker school is for you." - Scott
"Alton is a high-quality teacher and does a great job at explaining the mechanics of the game and the rationale behind poker decisions. This is far better than the rather "algorithmic approach" to the game proposed by some other poker training sites targeted at beginning players." - LD
"It's not just Alton's good poker strategy; it's also about his lecturing skills and class organization. It's very deep and amazingly simple. You really can master micro stakes with it. Thanks, Alton!" - Fernando

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these strategies work for online poker?
Yes. All our strategies are specifically designed for online micro stakes cash games and tournaments (from 2NL to 25NL).
I'm a total beginner. Which plan is best?
We recommend choosing the plan that fits your budget. Fundamentals Membership ($8.99/mo) is a great starting point with the complete fundamentals curriculum. All-Access Pass ($12.99/mo) gives you the entire course library. All-Access + Pro Tools ($19.99/mo) adds our MicroGrinder Tools Hub: perfect if you want to study with software and log your sessions to find leaks.
Does my membership include access to the student community?

The Tools Hub is our suite of web-based poker tools. It includes RangeLab (equity calculator), Range Viewer (preflop strategy reference), Session Assist (session tracker with hand logging, mental state tracking, and leak tags), and MicroSim Basic & Pro (coming soon: a 6-max cash game simulator with 35+ bot opponents).

- Upgrading: You'll pay the full price difference between tiers right away (if over $0.99), no matter how much time is left in your current month's billing cycle. The system doesn't consider timing - only what you've already paid. For the best value, we recommend upgrading at either the beginning or end of your billing cycle.
-
Downgrading: You keep access to your current tier until your billing period ends, then you'll switch to the lower tier when your next billing cycle starts.
Will my discount code work if I change membership plans?
No. Discount codes are tied to specific membership tiers. If you switch to a different tier, you'll need to use a new discount code for that tier. Your original discount won't transfer over.
How do I access my content after enrollment?
Access is immediate. Log in to your account and go to "My Membership" to find your membership content. All courses and materials included in your tier will be available right there in your dashboard.
How do I access the Tools Hub?
If your membership tier includes Tools Hub access, head to tools.microgrinder.com and sign in with your enrolled email address. We use magic link login: enter your email, click the link we send you, and you're in. No separate password to remember.
How do I update my payment method?
Go to your account dashboard and select "My Schools," then find your membership and click on "Billing." From there, you can add or update your card. Please save your changes before your next billing date.
What happens if my payment fails?
We know things happen. We will automatically retry charging your card 3 times on days 3, 7, and 14. If all attempts fail, you will be automatically unenrolled from the membership and will lose access to the content.
