Very much agree with this. The micros is not the place to try to make people fold a flush, because they should clearly understand, that your fancy check-raise on the river is representing a full house, which you have blockers to. You are just going to get called and tilted in the process. But on the other side the micros is also not the place to make nitty folds. You are going to find more people, who overplay their hand, and you need to be ready to gamble it up with them. Like this hand from a recent 9-man SnG on Stars. At a higher limit I might have folded to this action 75BB deep. But here I was like "this is a $5 SnG, and there are no logical two pairs, so lets see, what they both have"Basic ABC-poker without any fancy moves is the best approach at that level. Your opponents will consist of all kinds of players - fish, maniacs, and some who have studied - so keep your cool and carry on

Many people also mistakenly believe that online micro stakes play is full of terrible players that they can easily beat. different in this regard. Breaking the same limit online is usually much more difficult than in a casino or in a private home game.It is shocking to most people that even in online play at very low stakes, the competition remains at a fairly high level. online poker and live poker are completely different in this regard. Breaking the same limit online is usually much more difficult than in a casino or in a private home game.The biggest problem is that if you can't prove to yourself that you have a positive win rate at the micros, then you definitely have no chance of a positive win rate at higher stakes games against stronger opponents.

I think there are a few important things on microlimits - mostly play with the strength of your hand (don't bluff like at all), because people don't think about your hand, they see their "pretty" hand and will not fold 90% of the time. And don't be shy to overfold as well when you raised first, but didn't get outs on the board. It's better not to lose some money in unnecessary and unclear situations!

do you mean to not play a hand in most cases and not to try different bluffs and semi-bluffs?Basic ABC-poker without any fancy moves is the best approach at that level. Your opponents will consist of all kinds of players - fish, maniacs, and some who have studied - so keep your cool and carry on

Well they are. But, what many fail to understand, is the fact, that even in the micros there are also a lot of players, who take the game serious. They are often called "regulars", and maybe they started out with a deposit of $100 or something similar, and then they try to build up their bankroll from there. They are usually multitabling and playing in a somewhat robotic way, but they are not fish or wild gamblers. So one of the biggest mistakes, beginners make, is to think, they should play the same way against all opponents in the micros. Identifying, which kind of player you are up against and making individual adjustments, is very important for success.

If you just started on micros I wouldn't worry about this just yet.
But what I have seen (and opinions may differ on this) 10+ dollars is a limit where one can start to see more well thought plays and less recreational ones. Although some fishes and maniacs do belong to that group as well. But like I said - nothing to worry about at this stage. When you rise to that level you'll need to be quite good to succeed.

The best advice is not to give advice. You will still play your way. With knowledge and practice, it is easy to develop your own style of play that suits you. Do not forget about freerolls, also a strong thing in learning and increasing BR.

Well all I could tell you is that people at the micro limits have a tendency of going all in on any poket pair or any Ace high hand. It gets frustrating because although you may have the best hand preflop there is always that luck factor. Don't let it get to you stick to your game. I personally have veered off my game because of all the frustration so for me it's time to get control of my mental game and try and read the players more often to determen who plays with crap and could get lucky and who plays with skill so that I may have a shot of winning. Be patient!!

that is, you mean not to go immediately to the limits of 10+, but to sit, let's say, a little in that swamp? but will I raise my game level there?

thank you, of course you are right, everyone has their own style, but you still need to know the basics and make a minimum of mistakes

yes, this is very good advice, as many times I hit strong pockets or Ak in some Q T, but if you develop your style, you will only get from those fish in the future

Micro limits are tough. Not for the standard of player, although there are good players, but there are other players that will not fold under any circumstances. You could 3/4 bet, push all-in, and you can still get called with opponent on bottom pair, gut-shot & they suck-out, it happens on a regular basis, not to say that it won't happen in higher limits, it does. But not quite as regular. With patience, stick to your game & to not fall into the trap of tilt, and a bankroll to suit, you will beat the micros, over time.

Lower the stakes worse the players. Bad competition is bad for your game in my opinion.

Not completely sure what you mean?
Like you said earlier, you have now started playing micros. If that is the level where you feel comfortable at the moment then that is a-okay. But when you play there the best approach is usually simple ABC-poker.
I wouldn't go to 10+ games without sufficient skill set and bankroll. Cause like I said, you'll need to be quite good to make it in the money. In my opinion 10+ games are the starting level where you can start to add some fancy moves (if you know how to do them) to your game but not before. But jumping into higher games without necessary skills is just money wasted.

Hello. If you cant beat micro stakes it makes no sense to move up.
Just grind 01.02 build your bankroll and experience.
