Ok, so in thought #2 I put it forward that value betting is one of the keys to beating micros, so lets start some "thinking" for you. Theres obviously one or more reasons why this is so effective, so:
Why is betting for value so good in microstakes games?

beacuse in microstakes games people don't fold, so we should be taking as much advantage of this as possible while minimizing the amount we actually bluff because they will call too much to make it profitable.

their calling range is wide and the more you bet the more they think you're bluffing and you can't win money by checking and

Because they don't bluff raise you often enough and when they do, they will make bet sizing mistakes.

Betting for value increases your overall return. Meaning that if you bet for value, sometimes you will win the hand and sometimes you will lose, but since you are betting on a hand with a positive expected value, by betting with the assumption of a certain percentage win you increase your overall $ won by winning that percentage...
If that crap made any sense...  (But I'm a noob and not sure I'm following this correctly)

Big chunk of micros fold too much or too little...
People who fold too much hate to play big pots, so you get moniez from the weak tighties.
People who don't fold enough play crap for pots that are too big, so you make moniez.
People get pot committed too easily so you got better chances to stack 'em for moniez if you build the pot aggressively with goot hands.
That's three ways to make moniez.
