    Default some micro reminders

    1 - biggest leak at micros is calling too much. Plug this leak yourself, exploit it in others
    2 - you constantly underestimate how much of your winnings come from fish
    3 - it's easier to make money from fish when you're in hands with them
    4 - it's a rare fish that raises vs big heat without a hand they perceive as the nuts
    5 - everyone sucks at ranges, perceived nuts is a weird concept
    6 - value-fucking-bet. End of story
    7 - fancy bluff lines aren't where da gold's at
    7a - being caught bluffing in small pots is great for getting no respect in big pots -> see comment at very end of post
    8 - big hands, big pots
    9 - it's easier to build big pots if you don't fucking check
    10 - people suck at bet-sizing
    11 - implied odds are nice, you don't always have to raise draws - but you should sometimes. Betting draws is nice.
    12 - pot odds are nicer
    13 - some recent evidence:
