Massive Profit at the Micros

Why?

Remember how I said that most players at these limits are passive and like to call a lot? Well this is exactly why
it is a bad idea to slow-play when you have a big hand.

You have to build the pot for them at these stakes by betting and raising. And don’t worry about scaring them off
either. Sometimes they simply aren’t going to have anything and therefore they are going to fold no matter what
you do.

You should also learn to start raising your draws from time to time against the regulars who CBet the flop way
too much. A lot of the time they will have very little and you can take it down without even having to improve your
hand.

Flatting

However, as you probably know by now, making a big hand in poker is hard. Really hard in fact. The large
majority of the time after the flop you will have a weak pair or a draw at best. Often you will have nothing at all.

So what should you do then?

You should just flat call a CBet with:

• Top pair hands (weak kicker)

• Middle pair hands

• Draws (although sometimes raise them versus aggressive regulars as just mentioned)
