There are certain types of adjustments that are good and others that are bad at micros. The point of the generalizations is that a tight-aggressive game can beat the crap out of microstakes players while you incrementally learn how to make proper adjustments.

One solution to some of your issues as a player would probably be resolved by re-reading this statement and figuring out what you can do about it.
Raise from HJ and CO with a wider range?

Like 27o+
Only if BB has a low VPIP
if he's like 30/20 there's a good reason it gets folded to him
Ragnar4's response is one possibility, but there are others.

The chance of all players left to act staying in the hand are equally important when considering fold equity, not just the big blind. If there are players left to act with position on you, the chances that they stay in the hand are actually more important than the players left to act without position on you since the impact on the EV of your raise is impacted more when someone calls in position.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
