YW, but it wasn't meant for the microstakes donators obv. If you check out listening's blog (the author of the other article), she has a lot of her older articles posted that deal with microstakes more than I do. To apply a little of what I wrote to players still having trouble at microstakes, you should remember a couple of things:

[LIST]
[*]Highly rated hands (like those with a PR of 12+, or smooth 3-card 8's and better) are rare. You'll only catch them abut 15% of the time or 1 out of 6 hands. If your opponents are playing 45% of their hands, they do not have a 3-card 8 or better every time. They will be playing a lot of 9's and 2-card hands, so you shouldn't give them as much credit as you would for good, solid players.[/LIST][LIST]
[*]If you realize that you need to play more than just premium hands because of the antes or because your opponents are so loose and bad, you can profitably open up your game a little by playing 10 or 11 point hands (like those whose outs are live and consist of two wheel cards and a brick in the hole). Obviously you don't want to take on opponents who indicate they have a much better hand, but you can often take down the antes, play vs. a limper or two, etc.[/LIST]
