LMAO... But yeah, I pretty much don't do it. Well, I do, it's just those few hands where I go retarded and lose it. But that's no limit baby (damn you Scotty Nguyen).

I'm not obsessed per say. I just find it easier to control the size of the pot more often than not. I know the standard is "tight is right" at the micros. So does this mean that the most profitable/least variance method of grinding the micros is to play +/- 12% of your hands? If that's generally the truth, I might as well open up 20 tables and sit on my hands.

Thanks for all the tips on BRM. I would rather be over-rolled for the stakes I'm at but then again replacing $200 isn't going to break me. I'm going to stick to $5NL for now though because for one, I haven't learned how to control tilt and two, I'm just not that good. I think I'm good but my online results let me know I'm very average.

Thanks
Bold part is obviously emphasis.

I think you get the idea now lol. Seriously though, this is why I love online poker so much. You can open up an ass ton of tables, wait for premiums, and at the micros, you will STILL GET ACTION. That's the point we are trying to emphasize. I just finished 2 sessions today. Played over 1k hands playing 6 tables of FR, and am up 5 BI's. That's not too bad imo.

I really like the "small-ball" style of poker as well, HOWEVER, at micros its really not as effective, cuz 99.999999% of ppl down here don't even know how to fold bottom pair (or a gutshot imo). So yes, open as many tables as you can play profitably (different for everyone) and wait for your nuts hands and get paid.

There is an excellent starting hand chart in the articles section of the site. It's pretty hard to miss it's labeld 19 starting hands. Obviously you can play more than these 19 as you see fit, but these are going to be the bread and butter hands for you at micros.

Hope that helps you out,

Dustin
