I think pokerfan is trying to say don't bluff casino players. and he is right. They are stations, total stations. Sejie is saying that because they are stations, we raise to make it a mistake for them to call. When they do (and they will) we profit from their mistakes.
You NEVER ignore pot odds or implied odds. They are not advanced concepts they are completely fundamental to the game.
Lastly your pairs are not a problem. limping the small ones early and set mining is exactly how you should be playing microstakes online poker. Your problem is all the other hands you are limping that you should be either raising or folding. With 29% VP$IP you must be limping all sorts, things like KQ, KJ, AT, and probably suited connectors and suited aces and all sorts of crap.
Well thats not to say don't play these hands, but just dont play so passively. You need to learn about position. Limping Ax suited behind limpers on the button is a fine play. limping ATs UTG sucks unless you are real hot postflop. Raising AJo from 4th position is good, raising it UTG is borderline and many (including me) won't do it.
Read Rentons 169 hand strategy in the beginners section and learn which hands are good in what positions and more importantly what you should do with them.
If you play close to the way that preflop strategy suggests you'll be playing TAGG. Your stats are loose passive at the moment which makes you real easy to exploit. You don't want to be an easy target.
