I rarely bluff in the micros anymore as everyone calls and I agree that to triple barrel at these levels is spew.

However...if your going to try any bluffing it's all about the story your trying to tell. You need to be extremely aware of your table image. Do they think I'm Tag? or Lag? or just dumb?

For example:
Usually the only bluffing I do now is to occasionally rep an ace or king when one hits on the flop. As I usually play tight my opponents find it easy to believe I have an A or K.
However, I have to make sure I rep it correctly. It's not good for me to overbet that pot if I'm pretending I have a good hand and want action. Flip side is if the flop comes out draw heavy then I want to slightly overbet it to "pretend" to make it expensive to catch that flush.

Of course if they call in either circumstance then chances are I'm way behind and I better not throw more money away. Which brings us back to spew and an easy way to lose chips. 
In the micros people will call with dang near anything, even ace or king high at times, so why try to win a few measly chips with nothing? You can just wait to get something and get a lot more with decent value betting.
