Beating micro's thought #2
One of the main keys to beating micros is the value bet. We get the vast majority of our profits from value betting with the best hand.
Forget FPS (fancy play syndrome). Go through your winning hands and start thinking about your betting. Think about how much your opponent will call on the flop, on the turn, or on the river with a 2nd best (or drawing) hand. Is your hand worth 3 streets of value or only 2? Maybe only 1? If its not worth 3 streets, which streets are you more likely to get calls on? Will your opponent call a big bet on the river? Will your opponent fold most of the time, but call one last small bet just incase you're bluffing? If your opponent is very likely to call, then could he call a very big bet instead of a standard sized one?
Really spend some time thinking about when to bet and how much in different circumstances, of course always baring in mind thought #1, we want to avoid losing big pots when we're behind.

TPGK is one hand where i think a lot of micro players have trouble extracting max value from the rich sea of loooooose micro fish.
Save pot control for people who won't stack off with TPNK, but at the micros they're in (relative) abundance if you can profile them properly.
