Yea, so my question is, what's the point in studying and learning the game? How can skill compete with luck? At microstakes, it seems, luck > skill. Anyone have an argument? Of course people manage to beat micros, but damn it's frustrating.
Beating the micros is easy. Play ABC poker, learn to fold when you're raised (or behind your opponents range) and get your hands in. Seriously. I'm beating 25NL for 14BB/100 at the moment playing ABC poker.

Sasquatch, for the hands above:
H1 I fold turn
H2 Smaller turn bet, I fold river
H3 preflop is fine I guess. Pretty much setmining now. You must raise the flop sooner imo to not risk seeing a turn cheaply. They are stacking off with overpairs so make sure it happens.
