however, at levels like 25/50c, i am starting to have a hard time respecting the money anymore. i find myself REALLY opening up late and in bvb situations. and, i dont care much post flop.....because they do.

but, you have to be aware of how your "image" is running because you can find spots to use it. if you have shown nothing but the nuts for awhile, you WILL get respect on your semibluffs and steals. if you have been caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you will get called down VERY lightly. thats "image" at the micros, and thats about as far as it goes.

that said, i think when i play my best, players think i am a crazy muthafugga. i will get to SD with 57s and AA and KJo and have the best hand every time...and be raising all the way, too. but, the second i get caught in a semibluff/follow up, i chill until i show a legit hand again. (shouldnt be saying this...lol)

my range is rather wide on the button, and tightens up the earlier we go. but, i overlimp a lot of shit at a passive table....like the 25/50c'ers produce. and, i am not that active in aggro pf tables, either....more 3betting or folding.

there used to be a great saying that doesnt really get used online anymore. "see as many flops as you can AS CHEAP AS YOU CAN and play your cards out from there." this is golden advice at the micros and smaller live games. why? because these players suck at protecting their hands, charging for draws, reading hands, and adjusting to what they saw you do.

CO opening a pot with A6o with loose blinds....i raise. why? because there is a great chance i take the pot with a cbet when the pussies check it to me. thats more important than how often they call raises. and, when i hit the A i am playing until they raise me back. and, when i hit the 6 i am playing with 5 outs to a hand that slaughters that stupid assed AQ that refused to 3bet me pf. but, an inordinate amount of the time, that dillhole will drag 77 to showdown in spite of the A on the flop.

thats WHY we raise A6o from the CO....both 6max and FR. as for a "set range," i dont really have one anymore. it just depends on so many factors. but, late....it includes: Q8s, J7s, 57s, QTo, K5o, etc. however, no where near that in ep. if i am catching the right cards, in the right spots, i will look just like a 45/35 nutfugger. but, i can also run 12/10 on you, too.

adjustments if i do something terribly wrong coz now i am running pretty bad last week, after 9k hands i am -2,36 BB/100. Worst suckouts during this year. Really "happy" Christmas.
Today 6x dealt KK and was 3x against AA. Its out of my understanding and not even this.
