Im moving this to General Discussion since it's not a Railbird thread

As far as your question, you cant ask a question like that and get an answer, as nearly everything is situational. I'll give a few points (hopefully which don't go to waste)

- Against bad players (typically what you'll find at micro limit stakes) bluff a lot less and value bet a lot more. Bad players are incapable of making laydowns

- Against weak tight bad players, you can still bluff and do so frequently.

- There is no one right way to play different starting hands, everything depends on: * Your hand *Your position *Action before you *Your table image *the rest of the tables' (your opponents) image and more. With that said I'll say this. Until your advanced enough to start getting tricky, play straight forward. Play your big hands (Big pairs AK AQ) straight forward and raise or reraise preflop (not so much with AQ). With middle pairs mix in limps and raises depending on your position, the action before you, the tables looseness or tightness etc. With all other hands that arent trash hands (suited connectors for example) try and see a CHEAP flop if you can (preferably with several opponents), and hope to hit big. Do not play offsuit Aces below AT, they are trouble hands

- Don't worry about advanced techniques until you get the basics down, then start adding to your arsonal
