About BlackRain79 — Nathan Williams

Nathan Williams started his poker blog in 2007 under the alias BlackRain79, keeping his screen name secret for years while grinding micro and low-stakes cash games on PokerStars and other networks. He eventually became one of the most documented winning players at small and mid-limit games online, logging millions of hands with verifiable results. That record — not theory, not a solver — is the foundation of every course in this catalogue. He is also the author of three bestselling books: Crushing the Microstakes, Modern Small Stakes and The Micro Stakes Playbook. He now lives and travels across Southeast Asia, running his coaching business from a laptop.

What Makes BlackRain79 Courses Different

• Verified at real stakes. Every concept taught has been tested across millions of real hands at NL2–NL100 — not backtested in a solver.
• Exploitative, not theoretical. Nathan’s core teaching rejects GTO as a practical tool at micro and low stakes. He focuses on the tendencies of the actual opponents you face.
• 28 courses, every format. Live play, theory, HUD setup, mental game, Zoom, full ring, 6-max, mass tabling and structured A-to-Z curricula.
• FOREVER LICENSE on every title. Unlike subscription training sites, you pay once and keep access permanently — at every stake you ever play.
