The problem with that statement is beginners don't even know what constitutes as a value bet unless they have the nuts, and end up value-towning themselves by turning their hand into a bluff without even knowing it. The key to beating the micro-stakes starts with putting villain on a range, then value betting accordingly. I know this kind of a "duh" statement, but some people might read into that and just fire off bets with 0 level thinking.

This is true.I constantly find myself trying to figure out if I'm value betting or semi-bluffing.However learning how to bet and putting villain on a range are skills we need to learn to be able to use the key,but the key is still value bet.By the way,anybody know how to just bust down the f'n door?
