a respectable winrate for the micros is between 3BB - 5BB / 100 imho.
I disagree. I don't think you're really playing well unless you can manage 5+ ptBB/100 at 10nl and below and 3 - 5 ptBB/100 at 25nl. At least, I wasn't. When I really worked on my game and started playing well, my winrates at 10nl and 25nl were 8+ and 5+ ptBB/100 respectively (and yes, that's ptBB/100).

And that wasn't years ago before UIGEA - that was October/November of 2008.

Finally, I'll make this point that rarely gets made in the BC. The upper reaches of 10nl win rates has never really been explored. No one who's good enough to crush 200nl has ever spent enough time dinking around at 10nl for enough hands (say 25k) to establish a credible top end. FTR regs have certainly posted 10+ ptBB/100 at 5nl and 10nl over sizeable samples. But here's the thing. If you're crushing a game like that, you'll be rolled for the next level in 20k hands since you're winning 2 BI per 1k hands.
