i wouldnt say "turned QQ into a bluff." at 5NL, overpairs probably shouldn't be folded. but there is no reason to raise so large, either. there is a lot of value in anything beating TPGK at this level...more so than 25NL for sure. but, it still gets beat. and, you have to know your opponent. which ones are felting light, and which ones are not.
for instance, as you may see from pythonic's stats in his thread, he doesnt make a lot of mistakes. why? because he doesnt felt often without a big hand. he just takes value, which minimizes losses and keeps inevitable variance low.
down here, thats kind of the name of the game. when my winrates started dropping, it was because i started felting lighther and stopped folding marginal hands because of the donkey crap i was seeing. in other words, i stopped reading which players stack lightly and started assuming they all do.
the style to shoot for at <10NL, imo, is TPA. dont give the pot much money and dont build big pots for big hands, until you have a nice edge on the flop or turn. just nickel and dime them without putting much into the pot. when your card hits, you get paid almost all the time. only raise the best preflop and then, get aggressive (w/o overbetting) post flop when you like what you see.
thats a 10+ ptbb/100 strategy right there....as pythonic is proving. not "ideal poker," but the micros are a different breed, and any good poker player (which i likely am not) should identify which adjustments to make.
