Good post, but this strategy doesn't work at all micro-limits, 50 NL is also considered micro but there you'll have to adapt your play to the level 2 and 3 players you mentioned.

Agreed. I should have clarified that. I would say this is pretty accurate up through Nl10 and even some NL25. You are correct. Once you get above that level, things get a bit trickier.

You are right crush and I use this knowledge to my advantage every day. If someone does slowplay me or play their hand tricky I tag them for future references and play them more carefully next time.

Like others I like the analysis here and have been trying to see where I rank on this scale. I'd like to think that I'm somewhere between 2 and 3 although judging by my play sometimes it's definitely lower

When you're playing micro stakes you shouldn't be thinking on a high level. It's pointless to think more than 1 level ahead of your opponents.

I think this is the problem with a lot of the poker books on the market today. Most of them are written with thinking opponents in mind. The best way to beat the micros is to play a simple and disciplined game.
