Climbing out the micros this 2026

At this age of poker where GTO strategies and bot infested platforms are prevalent, i personally think it's hard to climb up the stakes if you're just a passionate recreational.

I know that building a robust system, exceptional study habits, and hard rock mental state are the general skills you must obtain to escape the micros. But how can you possibly do it for free?

I am writing this thread for all those micro crushers and winning players to help me out with all the necessary materials, infos, and articles that new and aspiring players can use to move up stakes.

Note: please make sure that all infos shared are free since i also noticed that majority of beginners doesnt have the funds to pay for high price coaching. I hope you guys can help me out on curating this thread. Thanks in advance.
