Micro limits,Raise or not to raise.

Hello all,

I play a lot of .01/.02 ring games.I am a winning player,be that small$$ but i am using the CC BRM guid lines.

My question is that when playing these micro stakes,the opponents are mostly beginners and play any 2 cards.I have found when i raise pre flop,it makes no differance.there is no respect for my raise and i get no info from it.(If i know i am playing agains biginners).

Excluding AA KK QQ Ak JJ AQ.(i will raise pre flop).

Am i wrong in saying it is ok to limp in pre flop excluding the above hands.After the flop i am very confident that i can out play opponents at these stakes.As i said before that i am up and have good stats playing like this.

Your comments are appreciated and please remember,I AM ONLY REFERING TO .01/.02 LIMITS.I Would never enter a pot with out a raise if i was playing .05/.10+ unless circumstanes warented it.

It's true. Keep in mind, you have to play the opponents just as much as the cards so making adjustments will occur at any level. That said, at the ultra micros, you typically run into people that do not think in terms of big blinds and percentages of stacks. You are playing purely implied odds instead of value. It's fine to limp with a wide selection of starting hands. You still need to bet for value with the good hands, but seeing a big multi way pot with 78suited is perfectly fine. Loose passive will get you killed at higher levels, but here it can be very profitable when they will pay you off when you do hit.

You just need to be able to fold marginal good hands so you aren't giving the other people implied odds.

Thanks for the advice mostly appreciated.

I do fold a lot of hands on the flop after limping, and try to avoid big pots at these stakes unless i have a monster.
