So someone wrote a post on Xfactor (for sure got it from somewhere else but who cares, lol) and i was like holy shit this is me down to the freakin last word... it was a post about beating the micro cash games so i'm now going to call them the 8 commandments :D :D :D


8 Commandments of micro cash:

Don’t try and ‘outplay’ your opponents
When you sit down at the table, you can happily think that you are the best player at that table. But being cocky in the micro limits will lead to disaster. If you try and take pots away from your opponent representing that 3 of a kind, and find that they call you down with bottom pair, you have got nobody to blame but yourself. Remember you are playing for money and not individual pots, only get your money in with the best of it.

Micro players love to chase
You are expecting your opponents in the micros to have a low understanding of the game. So if you bet twice the size of your pot and your opponent calls, you cant rule out that they will have a flush or straight draw, as they probably will not be familiar with pot odds. Remember that if your opponent has bad odds and calls to try and make his draw, that’s a good thing for you, because you will be winning more money in the long run. Just be sure to bet a larger amount into the pot when against multiple opponents to give each of them bad odds to call.

Buy in for the max, but don’t be afraid to lose it.
Due to the loose action at the micros, you can be expecting players to be going and calling all-ins with all sorts of made hands and draws. If you are buying into the table with the maximum, you are giving yourself the best opportunity to make the most money. Make sure that when you’re all in that you have then best of it, that way you are going to come out on top. Just remember its not often that you are a 100% favorite to win on the flop, so you cant win them all. If you’ve got the best of it, don’t be afraid to put your whole buy in on the line (if you have got the bankroll).

Don’t give your opponents tips
After you take a horrific bad beat from an equally bad player, the first thing you will want to do is criticize their play and tell them how bad it was. But wait, it was so bad that you should be over the moon that they called. If you are that far ahead of them with your top set and the flop, you want them to go all in with their gutshot straight. After all, you wouldn’t be complaining if you won that particular hand. Keep your advice to yourself and let the player make the same bad play next time.

Bet your good hands, fold your bad hands
It is pretty much basic poker strategy, but this is what works best at the micros. There is no need to be tricky with your play, if you make a good hand bet, and if you don’t, just fold. You may be afraid to scare players out of the pot, but most of the time they will call you with absolutely any hand.

Beware of raising
From my experience at the micro limits, players will not often raise pre flop unless they have a solid hand. The game plan for most of the players at the table is to see as many flops as possible, hit a huge hand, then bet and take as much money as they can from it. Your opponents won’t give a second thought to what you might hold; they are only playing to the strength of their own hand. This is why they call decent raises with bottom pair on the flop, because they’ve got a pair. So if you see a player raising pre flop and on every street then beware, they’ve probably got something good. Micro players are much happier calling than they are raising.

Don’t bluff
This is similar to the first point, as bluffing is a way of trying to outplay your opponent. Remember that a large number of players will be seeing the flop, and so a bluff of any kind is unlikely to work. Players will be calling with any half decent hand, so just put your money in when you do make a hand, and when you don’t, let it go.

Don’t be too concerned about your image
If you only play premium hands and bet with the best of it, don’t be too worried that the other players are cottoning on to your game. Players at the micros are far too concerned about the way they play opposed to the way that you play. So don’t feel pressured to ‘mix it up’ a little, as your opponents probably won’t even notice.

And since that i fucking suck at 10nl, since people call with such a dirty fucking range of hands i'm going up to 20nl. Maybe that's what I need, i'm so tired of losing TT-AA to 23s(including every garbage p.o.s hand in between these 2 shit hands)89s
