Seems to be more my style, games are faster, and its actually more fun than the long boring tourneys. All this together and it seems like faster profits.

I have been practicing table selection by joining only tables where the guy has a donkeyish name like larryG321 or something stupid (generally people with names like these suck, even in other online games).

So I play pretty super aggressive style in these raising nearly every hand. Mixing up the raises, sometimes limping. Rarely folding anything PF unless big Raise or RR.

So, since I'm new and haven't had much variance yet, any advice from any of you who play low/micro stakes NL HU HE ?

yeah I would suggest just sit at 3-4 tables and wait for guys to sit.That way you would play much more fish

So far my strategy is working. The only time it doesn't work is when I get bad luck/take bad beat or the guy is such a call station that he can't even lay down 3rd pair if I bet every street.
People who slow play tend to do the best against me but I catch on fast and change style.

Oh btw, I played about 15 of these and only lost once so far. Guy basically lucked a hand on the river for a shit load then continued his standard weak/conservative style and wouldn't allow me to take any more chips as a short stack (500). I couldn't get him to call anything, unless we both had a hand. pretty sure he would lay down low pairs, overs, and draws, I tried to randomly move all in, bet light, bet big, c/ it down to induce a raise. Guy just wouldn't put money in the pot unless he had the nuts. So I couldn't get back in it.
