Hi, i have fairly recently started playing cash games because of take two, and as i have progressed i have basically completely changed my play style, i started out very nitty, playing about 10% of hands, and fairly agressive after the flop, but what i had kind of already knew (which is why i played sngs) was quickly realised, that i was definately a losing player like this, i think my reads were a bit off, but it seemed i was only ever getting called down by very strong hands, or draws when they have no pot odds to be there, and by the time the draw hits my 2 pair or set is basically committed anyway (i have a very short roll playing short stack .01/.02) and people were generally folding without a hand.
So after a while reviewing this i realised that my ABC poker either sucked, or didnt work very well at all in micro. My friend showed me a strategy he had been trying where he basically played almost anytwo in good positions, and basically exploiting the mainly tight play in the micros. Most guides say that micro players are loose, and donks but i have found that they are all generally tight, and very rarely get out of line.
I have adjusted what he showed me a little bit, a little tighter, and threw some other moves in, but for me this is working quite well, and i feel like i have good control at the table, it also leads me to quite quickly have good reads on other players, as i see them play quite alot.
This leads me to wonder a few things, like what type of strategy do you like, and the fact that is it really worth mass multitabling like this, when i can have much more fun, much better ROI playing just a couple of tables where i am playing this style. I am pretty sure the style is probably typical LAG play but i have not seen it at the tables much, so it feels different (at least for micro stakes) there are definately loose players, but they seem to love limping rather then making plays at the pot.
What do you guys believe the best, most profitable, enjoyable play is in the micros? And if anyone could offer suggestions as to whether i should actually go back to my losing TAG play, (and help me find the leaks in that)
