I find that at microstakes maximising value doesn't work for me cos the fish always hit runner runner/sukout on river. Then I go on tilt and play junk and seem to hit everything i need. Only way to beat fish imo is to hope u get junkier cards than them.
I find the same problem to often for myself, also not getting thin value against them on dangerous boards when the check the river(fearing a chk/raise). Must say that at these micro stakes tables over 80% of the time its bad beats. Im definately trying to work on the thin value thing however, everytime i do it and it works im as happy as if i just doubled up because it feels like a tough spot to bet at and i feel as though i am accomplishing something bigger then i really am. Either way micro stakes are all about getting max value, suited connectors or even non suited connectors are very playable and have increased implied odds against such bad players especially when they hit tptk as well as the fact that they are easy hands to throw away postflop. i would say 95% of microstakes players will never throw away tptk, as well as about 45% will never throwaway mptk. I find it pretty sick to hit a flush and bet 2x pot into a passive type on the river who insta calls with tptk. Another thing to think about is the loose passive types who bet out small every street....They are a goldmine, i have players that i have played against where my win/loss ratio is probably 20% in my favor and yet the profit against them makes it look like i win 75% of the time if every pot was equal, i call them down weak with any piece of the board building a 15bb pot and i win rarely but often enough to make calling 1 bb into that worthy. when i have a strong hand i bet big and that 1 pot alone usually makes up for every loss against that same player in that session. its ridiculous. I havent even watched the vid yet so i am confused by this "the most important of those leaks being not maximising your value vs the fish."
