Even when I get a good hand like KK, if I raise too high preflop, everyone folds, if i raise medium or small, everyone limps in because what's 50 cents anyway. Then I have 5 players against me which is 5 times the odds my KK will get busted... well you get the picture.
So if anyone has some microstakes table strategy I'd love to hear it. Keep in mind I don't want to develop bad habits, but when I' m playing tables where people come and go every 5 minutes and everyone is bluffing, it's really tough to lay down AA to an allin.
EDIT: As I am new if you wouldn't mind typing out the acroynms so I can become acclimated to what they mean I would appreciate it  Thanks.
It's been awhile, but micro stakes are all about ABC poker. Standard TAG (tight aggressive) works great. DO NOT BLUFF!!!! VALUE BET! Bet when you have a good hand (even marginal against calling stations) and fold when you don't.
As far as your KK goes, I think you have the wrong idea. You aren't raising to narrow down the field, although a big pair is easier to play 1 or 2 handed. You most likely have the best hand (ie. your equity is highest), your bet is for value. Let them call and play smart post flop.
