Nope. I won't get into the finer points of whether limping or not is a good idea nor where to play what PP's in what positions, but you can only call raises against someone with between 12 and 15 times the money in his stack.

Calling 10x BB at $5NL is in effect calling $0.50. What if the opponenets stack is only $2 after the raise. This will lose you a ton of money over a short period of time. The opponents stacks and stats are the only consideration when calling raises for Axs and sets. It's about the implied odds of how much you will make by calling. To add to this, you cannot call with SC's either without at least 20x effective (lowest) stacks.
Agreed. I'll ammend this when I get a chance to include stack sizes. When I wrote this I was only thinking of full stacks - and as we all know this is rarely the case - especially with all the micro-stake short stack (wanna-be) ninjas.

Badgers - also agree. I'll ammend this too. My general thinking was that if you've played like stated, by the time you get to the Turn/River your pot commited or have a hand that you can't fold anyway. But i'll add somemore.

Dev: I also agree that the blinds were a bit rushed- I'll try and add something else.

And back to Jyms point - it is defo a starter guide for micro-stakes. Nothing more, nothing less....the main idea was to bang into people the idea of folding crap out of position and playing your strong hands/draws hard and fast. And also to show why controlled agression through CBetting and value betting is vital. I'll have a read over it today and ammend somethings.

If it helps even one microstakes player start to win a bit I'm happy.
