Moved up to NL25 rush today. Finding something I did not see at NL10 rush; I am being raised at least one out of every 3 pots that sees the flop, whether I am out of position or in position.
I am still unsure of how to deal with these, as I do not have a lot of experience with the limit, nor a lot of HH on the players I am playing with. I literally am finding people raising me 4x'ing my bet on the flop, and clicking the fold to bet box if I go all in, even if they are basically priced in. However, I am running into the situation of cbetting dry boards with A-10+ hands in position, and am unsure of how to deal with reraises on relatively dry boards.
Should I be checking behind more on dry flops? Should I be flatting and seeing how they react on the turn? Should I fold and just allow them to bluff me and catch them when I do have a hand?
Would appreciate some help. Thanks!
P.S. Of course I understand this is definitely different in every situation. I was just wondering if there was a general strategy I should be following when dealing with these types of situations

Crazy under EV when I was just finally about to move up. Down like 8-9BI over 1200 hands and playing fairly well
Basic complaining blog...bla bla bla....whine whine whine...variance variance variance....
LP has helped me quite a bit in the last couple months with my poker game, so I wanted to give back, even if it really isn't that much
I am subscribed to a private torrent site, and I have 4 invites to give out. Basically all files have 1.0mb download speed, and its a great community of people that literally LOVE to upload the newest content as fast as possible, including all TV shows, newly released movies, software etc.
Only way I could think of giving them out without getting spammed was to ask of a little effort. Lets go with....post a cool hand that you have had lately. Unless it is just a stupid hand, I will hand out the invites basically to the first 4 that post. GL!
P.S. Unless you know how torrent sites work, please don't post
After taking a small week break from micros, I decided to simply look for every leak I had, talk to a few fellow LP'ers about playstyles, research/read through various poker sources, and basically evaluate my current game and attempt to improve on it.
Biggest leak by far was playing on Cake Poker. Good site, but with a lack of HUD, it was really owning me trying to keep track of various aggro euros shoving very light, while others playing the standard game. I have since switched to pokerstars, sadly without rakeback, but I feel will work out much better in the end.
Well, results have been good over the past 4-5 days. I know these results are not going to be typical, but it has been a while since I could believe I could beat the tables I was sitting at. Really only one big loss from a 200bb river suckout, but meh w/e
My postflop play has really improved by leaps and bounds. I actually have found myself wanting to 3bet much less because I am so confident my play is much better than those at my current .05/.10 limit. I realize this is not the greatest of ideas, and I do not act on it, but I'm sure you understand what I mean
I want to thank Collegesucks, Ethsmurf, Proctor998, Frinkx, and I'm sure there are more I am forgetting. Really helped me out. Thanks!
