A good friend and a scholar recently recommended that I should perhaps move down to refine my game, and I get a very interesting spot right of the bat against a very aggressive regular.

He pots it, which indicates strength at these limits so I will raise 100% of the time, but is that correct in these spots and would you throw a brick at me if he cbets $0.5 and I just flat and expect him to barrel a ton?

standard raise.

Yeah, I would raise 100% of the time, protect, people see me as a spazz (and at micros its strong hand=raise unless I have a very good read)

Although I definitely can see some merit to calling against good frequent barrel guy, would you consider flatting if you were playing a good aggro tag reg?

i would just raise for the simple reason that 10nl players will still always respond poorly to it so flatting wont make a lot of sense and ill just try to get as much money in with my hand here.

result orientated

raise flop. many turns complete draws if you raise turn he'll figure you completed a draw whereas here you rep a smaller range.
not that these players think this way.

when i was on nl25 and flopped a set it was 100% raise in EVERY SPOT.

as said before

you should not refine your strategy. you should focus on playing ABC POKER until you reach nl100.By then ppl start thinking. (not a lot)

i swear playing 18/15 on these limits is super profitable and easiest poker no-variance ever.

Agreed
Apart from 3betting wide first hand against regs which will nobody take away from me playing good fundamental poker without big bluffs calls folds etc. with A game mindset most of the time is my focus now.

But you can't expect me to post boring ABC hands what's the point in that I post those on poker strategy where people are paid to go through my dull stuff

glad to see that you are busto
and still playing micros


regards

Reason I never really post my hand is most are pretty boring. But I rather make money.
