Beat microstakes by learning thought processes behind what you are doing below post is somewhat ineffective in my opinion.
Do not c bet every missed flop against tags. Know why you should c bet and this answer should generally either be "to get value from X in his range" or "to fold out Y part of his range". If neither of above is true you probably shouldnt bet.
AK - Ok generalizing how to play AK against all opponents seems very very dumb in my mind. As for not getting AI with it, analyze your play with stove to determine the correct plays for yourself, if you are 3 betting someone alot and they decide to finally 4bet, AK is great to go with. It all just depends on what range you think the villain at your table will go broke with. As far as your loss of money with AK, getting all in with AK is often a close call. When you have close calls for lots of money you get high variance so dont stop what you are doing based on some guys advice in forum, or because of a small down swing with them. Stop using them because you did the math and in the situations you were using them you now feel they are not profitable.
Draws thing is random. Double barreling with draws is often profitable. Its all villain dependent.

Play a very tight range from the blinds and UTG (+1) - Play a wider range in later positions worst hand ATo.
C-bet missed flops with players that are lower than 40% VPIP otherwise they will call down with overs or any shite !!!!
Raise / Re-raise big pairs i.e. AA - JJ - Any low PP call a raise if villian is deep stacked and you suspect they have a monster - 1 rule no set no bet....
AK - This is a hand played so badly in micro stakes. Basically RR pf with the aim of taking the pot down there and then if not then c bet a missed flop but if called check fold turn. Also if you AK does hit then fold to a re-raise as your top pair / kick is now prob behind to a set / two pair etc...
any draws only bet if have 12+ outs other wise pot bet flop and check fold if does not arrive by turn...
Finally do not shove PF with AKo / AKs as this play is shocking - You are so far behind it is not funny to decent TAG players at this stake.
Will add more notes later...
