They open shove 100bb deep
My ITM is 12% at micro stake which is trash for micro stakes. I'd like to be able to beat them but my bluffs don't work like a guy easily call all in river with tp on a wet board with flush and straight draw that are in my range.
So I try to play NIT against them but due to the structure I end up having to jam around 15bb polar in middle stage or sometime I 15bb limp but very rarely , also when someone limp they never raise and even with a x4 they all call .
So I don't know what to do to improve in those stakes and make 20% ITM I have the petrangelo and negreanu masterclass , the negreanu one isn't very usefull . But the petrangelo one is soo good .
Anyway thanks in advance for your advices

Thanks for posting.
As my title suggests you first make a hand then make them pay.
If a player will not fold KQS preflop and you have AA KK QQ go all in.
Do not bluff unless you know the player will fold. Which is very seldom.
Set mine JJ and below.
Nut mine hands like AXS 89 etc
Check fold weak made hands.
If several players will go to the river remember 1 pair hands go way down in strength.
If they will call all-in when you have monster draws on the flop go all-in.
See lots of flops and only draw to nuts or near nuts hands.
Remember you are playing poker they are playing bingo. You still have the advantage but not by making them fold but by making them call huge bets.
Hope this helps
