The flip side of value-betting — BlackRain79 Getting Away at the Micros is a 5-part series on one of the hardest skills in low-stakes poker: folding good hands when the situation demands it. Recorded concurrently with the Value Betting series, these videos show Nathan navigating spots where most micro-stakes players would call down and lose their stack.

- The cost of “I had to call” spots: protecting your stack so your big hands become profit.
- Real hands at NL2–NL10 showing the decision process in real time.
