Can you make money playing micro-stakes?

If you allocate enough time for study and for playing, certainty you can also make some money.

Micro-stakes is where a good poker player can take a good advantage over his opponents and so will always make a good profit, but for a living playing micro I don't think it's worth it.

Micro stakes are for players who plays only for fun. Earnings are slow of course, but he is good.

People in micro-stakes don't scare to lost money and play like monkey, but they want to win real money like a fish. These people scare to play on real money.

You can win, but also 1$/day it's a win. You need to set a goal. For example I win at micros, but I can't live on those winnings.

Yes, I believe you can make some money playing at the micro stakes

Seriously though, yes it is possible to make a lot of money playing at the micro stakes but it is usually a better idea to move up to higher stakes where the rake is less of a factor and the money in play is more significant.

The micro stakes are kind of like the ultimate proving ground though. Because if you are ever going to survive at higher limits, then you first need to master the fundamental strategies required to consistently win at the micro stakes.

There are 3 basic parts to this:

1) A solid tight and aggressive poker strategy (TAG)
2) Good tilt control
3) Excellent game selection

This is basically exactly what I have been teaching for many years over on my poker blog:

It is a bit frustrating because of the few winnings but every poker player starts micro stake. With patience and dedication you can have acceptable earnings at these levels.

Yes, you can make money at micro limits, but there is a terrible dispersion and you need much time to beat it
