Just thought this might be an interesting little thing. Finish the sentence!

For example:
To crush small stakes LHE games... make your loose calls on the river, not preflop.
TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

Fold weak/marginal hands in small pots.

Even if you think you might be drawing dead, don't fold for one bet in a huge pot.

getting cute and tricky with your monsters is a quick way of losing a large pot.

Talk trash.

Seriously, talk trash. You will get fish gunning for you, and there is nothing more profitable. Talk trash and bet your good hands, 'cause you're gettin' paid off.

(this assumes you don't do dumb stuff like bluff all the time at a micro.)

Don't bluff.....too much

More seriously, remember to be patient. When you found your fish table be patient don't you win with a bad hand because you are better or at least more aware player. Take your
time and they will pay you.

When the decision to call or fold preflop is close, first consider whether or not you are Fnord. If you are not Fnord, tend to fold. If you are Fnord, tend to raise.

Learn to respect turn aggression from passive players. When they switch gears on the turn or river - they have the goods. You'd better have them to to play back at them.
