(how F-in much do i have to raise PF for you to fold 86 suited !!?!?!?!)

both against the same arsehole!
oh well i guess i should expect that with 1c/2c tables....just don't have a bankroll big enough at PS to move up the stakes

You know the answer to you're own question Chuck.....
There is NO amount you can raise at a micro-limit table that you won't get at least 1 call with, no matter what they have.
I think micro-limit tables should be banned. (although I will be playing them soon since I'm almost broke.....again, love the irony there)

The only solution is to rob a bank and start playing 300/600.

lol word...

So far my strategy for the micro limit tables is to take a pretty much minimum stake to the table, and then push it all in when I've got a really strong hand. You'll normally get called by a weaker hand, and double up more often than not. Sometimes you'll bust out, but on average you'll win more than you lose. It seems to work better at the micro-limit short-handed tables, where you get some really aggressive players who want to play every hand, and then you know you're almost always going to be ahead.

If you were very short-stacked, then you perhaps want to stick around and try to double up again to get into profit, but generally you're looking to have enough that you'll have at least 3/4 of your stack when you push in, and with the blinds you'll then pretty much double your starting stake if you win... with the really stupid players, you can play relatively loose, too - if they play literally every hand, then you'd normally be ahead with just AX, and if you're willing to gamble a bit on 3/2 odds for even money, then it's one way to may the bad players pay more often while losing less blinds between your own plays.

When you do win, generally you then cash out, and buy back into another micro limit table with the minimum again, and try again. Alternatively, when you have a more powerful starting stack from a win, play more solid poker.

It's a strategy that I adopted to try to make something more useful from freeroll winnings - because you often don't have enough to play much more than the minimum buy-in, so you're trying to multiply it quickly into something you can usefully lose a bit of while trying to make a hand. It's like the end-game tournament strategies where the blinds are a high proportion of your stack - you have to pick a good situation and push in,
except you can try again when you do get outdrawn.

great strategy, starfall; the only downside to that is that the maximum you can take in with one hand is that minimum that you bought in with.
Usually (bankroll permitting) i buy in the maximum, or at least more than the biggest stack at the table so that if we do play a big pot, i can bust him and rake in the maximum possible.
My PS 'roll is very small ATM so right now im actually trying your theory out and seeing how it works

well finally a hand played out like it was supposed to
