This may be the challenge of 10NL on Bovada. I've found that my worst days, I come away from it thinking, "Man, I missed a ton of thin value bets OTR, and didn't fold enough to flop aggression when I was trying to steal dead money and really should've taken a free card". 10NL on Bovada is a crazy land of strange c/r's and mad flop aggression, that is sure. I find turn and river raises to be far more passive, though. Maybe it's just my style that slows them down when I continue after the flop.
To re-state it... my best days are when I'm fully conscious of how my bets affect Villain's range. Also, I am more keen to notice what the SPR's will be on the flop if I call before I call a PFR. No playing implied odds hands against a villain with $3 or less.

They're loose-passive pre-flop w/ anything less than QQ,AK, so you're pretty safe raising pre-flop with strong hands or strong position. Implied odds IP are very high. Bluff rarely, and in well chosen spots where you have a read.
Remember the fundamental rule of beating the micros: Learn to V-bet effectively.

I see $40 swings up and down in single sessions (5 - 8 hours) playing 4 tables of 10NL on Bovada. Winning or losing 10BB at any stakes is just, "Oops, that C-bet failed." No worries, keep playing.
Think about it. You PFR to 4BB, there's a call, blinds fold. There's 9.5BB in the pot. Flop comes, "who cares, I'm HU IP and I'm fyooking C-betting 80+% against this tool". So you C-bet 6BB into 9.5BB, then Villain c/r's your ass and you whiffed. Easy fold.
Cost: 10BB.
Who cares? Not me and not you. You'll get away with far more stealing of dead money than they're willing to bluff raise you with, so just b/f your air and b/c your monsters. They'll fire again, or they were bluffing, but you made up for the loss with the times they folded and the times you nutted.
Does this make any sense? My family just left and I'm kind of (extremely) buzzed right now.
