Hey Jhart.

Welcome to the forums. I started 1 month ago (NL2) and in this time I learned 2 important things which will help you to beat the micros.

1 - Believe your opponents!
If you raise preflop and you don't hit at least toppair or a flushdraw and they bet, just fold. Fold fold fold. Even if the board is like 279 rainbow and their bet doesn't make any sense to you, fold. They probably made a terrible call preflop and sucked out on you.
Is this weak? Sure it is. Will your opponents be clever enough to exploit your weakness? Hahahaha...NO!

2 - If you have a big hand, bet big!
Don't worry about scaring your opponents away. Just bet. Bet every street and bet big (at least 3/4 potsize). I have seen people call every street till they were allin with 56o on a board full of highcards. Even if someone folds who might not have folded if your bet was smaller, don't worry because if someone calls your big bets, your winning will make up for the small pots you lost. Big time.

I know you can find exactly the same advices in the Beginners Digest, but I thought hearing this form a guy who is in the same boat as you migh help.
When i started out, I was stupid enough not to follow those 2 principles and so I called bets and raises believing I could outplay my opponents on later streets. I couldn't and that's why I lost about 1/2 of my bankroll in the first days. I was stupid enough to believe that my oppnents would actually care about betsizing and so I bet small in order to keep them in the pot. They don't care. Just bet and hope they have some trash like bottom pair. They will call.

I hope this is helpful to you. Even if it's not, I'm still glad I wrote this down because this way, I'll always remind myself of how to beat the micros.
