wow I just start to read and I already see mistake... you opening from UTG is huge... you range there should be narrower specialy in micro stakes...first avoid raising 5BB, you cen rais 3BB or 4BB not 5BB... second A9s,AT,KJs,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s are not opening from UTG in micro cash game... I just read that, and I cant read more... there is a lot to read xD
To be honest, micro cash games are more about post flop play than pre flop ranges because you're usually over 100-200 BB and people are usually very nitty so if you pick your spots well you can steal a lot of pots. Of course pre flop ranges are important to not run into tough decisions all the time, but mixing it up is equally important just to balance ranges and be able to get paid when you hit.
I don't see any reason to open to 5 BB in an unraised pot though. 3-4BB is enough. And I would 4bet QQ in MP, not just AKs.

I got openingbets 3,5 early position, 3 middle and 2,8 late position. Think 5bb is on long term more losing since with good hands u get alot more folds. Every call / raise will take u to 15 bb and then to call with 10-10? U 80% behind on their range.
Though if u use this list u will make profit on microstakes for sure on long term. But more cause of the terrible players mostly

I also thought the same thing to see the 5bb but it really works, many villains foldean and you win the boat, this is theoretical, you must evaluate the style of the table, if it is very solid you can do it, if it is very loose you have to adjust the rank. But you are right in everything.
------------ Clear that there are errors, for that I share the strategy, to correct it and to get its improvements.
------------ We must take into account that at these levels there are many players who pay an open raise with lower ranks, may be the objective of the strategy.
------------ We can change those 5bb by 4bb is the first improvement we can do .. I want suhferences, in the next thread we will see the post flop strategy

Thank you very much, waoz, for voluntarily informing us mobsters of such valuable information. It will greatly help micro stakes regulars or beginners to improve their game. Best wishes on your game.
I read and to be honest, I have little doubt of the correctness of such a strategy, of course ... but I'm not very good at the game with the micros ... I usually play sitngo or knockout tournaments ... and MTT tournaments sometimes ... I'm in the game I rely on intuition

Thanks friend, but if anything we can improve this open to correction.
------------ To be honest I have it in practice and I have done well, you can see the graph, of course there are times that you star but is normal in poker.

If it works for you i dont see the reason not to keep following it. The graph looks good.. And if you are not playing high limits, you can test this for a longer period, considering it goes down for a bit
Well, just because you lose one small bankroll doesn't mean your strategy doesn't work or that it's because it's a higher stake... Sometimes there's just nothing you can do. Poker is gambling and all you can do is try to put the odds in your favor. But most of the times to win a tournament you need 1 or 2 suckouts, so you need luck on your side. Some people get away with bad plays so often that day develop bad habits and maniacs can be hard to beat when they're lucky.

Posted by waoz: Unfortunately it does not work in higher limits ... I just lost those gains .. see image ..
waoz, did you feel blood pounding in your temples during the session? As you know, every poker player will inevitably experience downswings at some point in their career. Keep your head high no matter what happens. Good luck.

Is true ... that last hand I lost was AA vs 55 allin preflop and flop brought the 5 lost all the small bankroll I had, I had suffered as 3 bad beat but with discipline I was recovering but the latter gave me a hard blow because I take everything, it's the bad thing about not having a decent bankroll to play highs, now play the free bankrollMob with the points that I have in party poker or wait to complete the 5000 points to claim the $ 50 prize to deposit again and start again.
------------ Hahaha .. violate the first golden rule, do not respect the 100 boxes to level up, I wanted to make a hero but I did not leave now I'm out of money jejeje touch wait
------------ Thank you very much, it is gratifying and consoling that advice, it will serve as experience.

Too bad that it didnt work for you. It didnt take long to go the other way and lose it all. But you were unlucky too. I see you lost your preflop all in with aces Just think it as experience, and move on. Good luck on your next try.

If .. it serves me as an experience, I'm afraid of those AA allin preflop, the next over bet I see what I foldeo with AA hehehe I do not believe it! I'll call again, maybe another time I'll get back the lost, that's how it is The poker.
two aces it seems to me the most controversial card poker .... On the one hand it chamaya big card at the beginning of the after appearing on the table all the cards can turn ... I was cautious about the two aces after several terrible losses

I've been a victim of these pairs of aces like you can not imagine and I say for the next I do not play allin but nahhhh I always fall into temptation.
