I've changed the thread title lest you get people laughing at you (well more people). Really wanted to go with high-micro thread but w/e. :)

Aren't there like three people on this site that regularly grind the low stakes?

played some 50 6m zoom tonight, actually had fun so might become a 6m zoom reg and work my way up to 100 and 200, i dunno. Think i played well but standard running into top of peoples ranges a lot. Few hands to think about... no reads on the players yet, both just regs.

deuces i dont really like calling down with 88 there. I think Id bet flop once he checks it back with the intention on betting turn as well.

Just checked my roll and I'm officially rolled for 50NL! Just going to keep grinding 25 until a big enough sample then will shot take.

88 hand could be good, hard to say without reads on the guys cbetting freqs, and tendencies. I'd bet the flop when checked too personally though.

Looking back, his cbet in 3b pot is 100%. I think that's what confused me at the time tbh, since I felt like since we had history and he was always cbetting that flop with his whole range, it would kind of make sense if he checked such a dry flop in 3b pot w/his nut hands.

In I suppose. Could use some of the higher level stuff tbh since I should be at 25nl soonish, and the live game I'm playing in now has some higher-level thinking regs and plays really different from a casino game.

Sure tons. Can't post them from my phone but maybe later tonight when I'm home. I know you guys like to talk about hands I'm sure I could dig up a few relatively interesting situations.

JT7r does not seem like a dry flop in any sense of the word!

Acky, in your second hand here... I think I defo x/r this flop. His bet was like half pot, it looks weak raise over him, and then I also x/r the turn and then I'm leading out the river for 2/3 pot if I'm called. His flop bet is weak. And I think u should instead of call, raise this situation. I mean... The man min raised preflop... Idk it just looks weak to me, I x/r flop and turn and then lead out the river if it gets to that point. Your story is pretty strong he won't call ur river bet with less than like 2 pair if he's a decent reg
