Going down from 100NL to 10NL takes some time for acclimatizing.

I did a 20NL experiment some days ago, and I quickly realized I had to change my game to some extents.

Players at micro can be divided into two groups.

1. Wannabees. These guys have started their journey to greatness. They are serious and try to play TAG. However, since they do not like to gamble- their game often turns into Tight/weak. These are the players we need to respect when they bet.

2. Failures. Failures are losers in poker. They have little knowledge about the game and have unrealistic expectations. Failures have glaring weaknesses which should be easy to exploit once you spot them.

At micros- people 3-bet a tighter range than in 100NL. In QQ hand we should be very wary about UTG. He 4 bets you- this is usually incredible strong if player is a Wannabe. 5 betting here is intrinsically not wrong- because a lot of fish calls with much worse.

I usually never fold QQ in 6-max. My thinking is that unless I have good reasons to fold I push.

KT hand is fine IMO. I especially like your flop play. This was brilliant, because it misrepresents your hand and makes it look like a draw. Gives you extra value on turn. There is no way you can check/fold or bet/fold turn so well played.
