I have found that when playing microlimits, the standard show of strength pre-flop (4xBB) does not seem to deter weak drawing hands and ultimately will end up costing me when these weak draws hit well. What would be an appropriate show of strength without driving everyone off pre-flop? It's difficult to increase the BR 3 cents at a time when pulling only blinds, but very difficult to judge strength when the table is willing to call a 4xBB raise.

For instance:

I should have taken the hint on his reraise, and thought maybe he hit trip 8's but wanted to see what he had called with. I would never have guessed he would come in with 32s, even 88 seemed like a stretch after a strong (or so I thought) pre-flop raise. This is just an example of beats I have had with bad hands catching a flop I never thought they would buy into. Have I missed something?

I know that .01/.02 is fishy, and prefer .05/.10, but I'm trying to stabilize my BR at the microlimits so I can afford the variance at .05/.10 more comfortably.

Thank you,
Eric
