I absolutely love the Little Green Book but there's a catch: if you are playing micros there's a lot that doesn't apply. This is mostly because there is lot of people playing micros that have absolutely no idea of what they are doing.

Quick example: pot odds... If you have a made hand and the board is flushing or straightening you have to bet to give incorrect pot odds to their outs. The problem with this is that it is common to have a multiway pot being contested. It is quite easy to give incorrect pot odds heads-up, quite tricky if you are OOP against multiple opponents that are clueless. Just some days ago, I would chicken out and hope the turn and river were good to me, now I want the pot IMMEDIATELLY! If I have at least TPTK I will bet the pot. If in a 3 way pot one folds, the odds are on me in the long run and I will profit, first because they will chicken out, second because I will be making money in the long run even if I loose one pot for every four or five.

Adapating is easy actually, the book itself says it: be aggressive when you have it, fold when you don't. Little Green Book is amazing but way ahead of what is played in the micros.
